body2018
ORDER 1. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. Leave granted. 2. We have gone through the orders passed by the Single Bench as well as by the Division Bench of the Allahabad High Court. The punishment imposed by Senate was extremely harsh. 3. Remand of the case by the High Court to Senate in such case is uncalled for as would prolong the agony of students. They have already suffered for sufficient period. No further action need be taken by the Senate as against the students. However, we direct that the students involved in the case to maintain the good behaviour and in case they again involve in any kind of similar misconduct, let the matter be reported to this Court. We will direct appropriate action against them, if considered necessary. 4. It is undertaken by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant that none of the students will be indulging in such kind of activities again. 5. In view of the aforesaid, we set aside the order of the High Court and Senate. Let the students now appear in the examination. The students shall not file any further litigation with respect to the subject matter. We have passed the order with respect to all the students. The order of Senate shall not be treated as disqualification in any way as against the students. No further proceedings to be taken by the Senate against any student and we set aside the impugned orders. 6. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed. 7. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
