Paper leak: No relief for final-year B Com students- 5-Apr-2012
Mumbai: All final-year B Com students of Mumbai University in the city will have to reappear for the examination of one subject as the Bombay High Court refused to set aside the varsity's decision to this effect.
The Mumbai University had on April 1 declared re-examination for Marketing and Human Research Management (MHRM) after its question paper was "accidentally" leaked on March 27 among 40 students at BNN College centre in Bhiwandi.
According to the college, it had inadvertently circulated the question paper of MHRM instead of the question paper of Business Economics. The exam on MHRM was to be held the next day on March 28.
As per the new schedule, the examination will now be held on April 11.
Two students - Jayprakash Agarwal and Chetankumar Sharma - have challenged this decision in the High Court stating that the re-examination would cause inconvenience to over 70,000 final-year BCom students across the city.
A division bench of Justices S A Bobade and Mridula Bhatkar, however, refused to stay the re-examination and directed the University to file its reply within two weeks.
According to the petition, there was no need to hold fresh examination as the question paper of MHRM was leaked only to 40 students and no one else.
The two students had sought to quash and set aside the decision taken by the University for re-examination.
