BANARAS HINDU UNIVERSITY vs KAVITA GHAI — C.A. No. 3632/1999

Case Summary: C.A. No. 3632/1999 Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed Banaras Hindu University's appeal and set aside the High Court's order directing Kavita Ghai's admission. The Court held that the University's cancellation of Ghai's admission to the Faculty of Arts (Plastic Arts) was justified, as her admission on 16.7.1998 had been given by mistake and was cancelled on 29.7.1998. Since the academic course had already commenced and by the time of the Supreme Court's order the course period was over, no useful purpose would be served by allowing her rejoin.
