Don’t see why car crash victim should be made victim again; permit him to take exam: Bombay HC to city college

MUMBAI: Calling for some "empathy and compassion", Bombay high court on Thursday directed SVKM’s Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics to allow, by July 12, a student involved in a grave life-threatening car crash on the Bandra Worli sea-link on October 5 last year and hospitalised for long, to appear for B.Com first semester exam which he was disqualified from, for want of attendance.

Justices Gautam Patel and Neela Gokhale dictating the order in open court, said: "This is not a case where petitioner seeks to be excused for his own default he was a victim of a car accident we don't see why he should be made a victim a second time."
