Bombay High Court Upholds Students' Right to Protest MPSC Exam Irregularities
The Bombay High Court affirmed students' right to protest alleged irregularities in Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) exams, emphasizing that protesters are not anti-social or anti-national. The court urged the Maharashtra government to ensure fair, impartial recruitment exams and restore students' trust by addressing grievances, including alleged paper leaks. While acknowledging the protests' impact on Pune's public order, the court appealed to students to resume studies and directed the state to submit a detailed roadmap within three weeks. The agitation paused following the court's intervention.
