The Bombay High Court on May 3 dismissed a PIL seeking relaxation of the eligibility criterion of 75% score in higher secondary examination while seeking admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
A division bench of Acting Chief Justice S.V. Gangapurwala and Justice Sandeep Marne observed it cannot intervene at this stage and it was for the government authorities to consider and take a decision.
“At this stage we can’t intervene with the ongoing process. It is for the government to consider students’ grievances,” the High Court said.
