Bombay High Court Upholds MPSC Protesters' Rights, Calls for Fair Exams and Trust Restoration
The Bombay High Court affirmed that students protesting alleged malpractices in Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) exams are not anti-social elements and have the right to agitate. The court emphasized the state government's duty to ensure fair, impartial, and transparent recruitment exams and restore public trust. While appreciating the government's restraint in not filing FIRs against protesters, the court urged students to resume studies and reminded them to seek permission for protests to avoid state action. A recommendation for the MPSC Chairman's resignation is pending with the Governor.
