Under Article 142 of the Constitution, the Supreme Court may, in exercise of its power to do complete justice, recognise degrees obtained through irregular admissions where cancellation would serve no public interest, while simultaneously imposing remedial conditions such as mandatory pro-bono rural service and directing compensation from erring institutions to meritorious candidates who were wrongfully deprived of seats. As analysed on casestatus.in, such orders are fact-specific exercises of extraordinary jurisdiction and are expressly non-precedential in nature.
