FARAH CHAUDHARY vs UNION OF INDIA — SLP(C) No. 4561/2011

Summary: Farah Chaudhary v. Union of India (SLP(C) 4561/2011) The Supreme Court allowed the special leave petition and granted Farah Chaudhary re-admission to complete her 8th semester of a Fashion Design graduate course. The petitioner had successfully completed 7 semesters but was declared unsuccessful in the 8th semester after receiving a re-examination by the same jury members who had originally awarded her a D grade, despite her grievance that only 5 previously-considered garments were re-evaluated while 3 new garments created during re-examination were ignored. Court's Order: The petitioner is permitted to seek re-admission in the next 8th semester batch; respondent institutions must re-admit her and allow her to appear for examinations upon application. She must pay requisite fees and comply with institutional rules, with the direction automatically discharged if she fails to join within seven days of course commencement.
