Mumbai, July 3, 2026: Observing that a student should not suffer for the mistakes of his college, the Bombay High Court has fined Seth Hirachand Mutha College of Arts, Commerce and Science Rs 1 lakh for admitting an ineligible BMS student despite being aware of his ineligibility. The court also ordered the release of the student's marksheet and directed the college to ensure such lapses are not repeated.
Court Pulls Up College
A bench of Justices Riyaz Chagla and Farhan Dubash observed that the college, situated in Kalyan, was a "repeat offender" and had committed a similar lapse in an earlier case involving another BMS student. The court directed the college to pay the amount to the University of Mumbai within two weeks.
The petition was filed by a student, through advocate Atharva Dandekar, who had sought declaration of his sixth semester result after being allowed by the court earlier to appear for the examination.
