Justice RR Tripathi, who conducted proceedings for nearly six months, asked the university to show the rules which deny medals to the likes of Bhakkade. The university produced documents and filed affidavits that it cannot give the medal to Bhakkade.
However, at the end of the arguments, the university's claims proved wrong, as there was no such provision. The controller of examinations, in fact, defended the university's decision. He stated on affidavit, "Students have adopted malpractice to seek first rank by seeking reassessment."
However, this argument boomeranged, as the petitioner contended that it was an indirect acceptance of poor examination management by the university. The petitioner also highlighted a rule from the university's statute, in which there is a provision to reassess copies of five other toppers, if one of such rank holders' marks are increased during reassessment.
Ultimately, the university gave in and Justice Tripathi ordered the authorities to confer the medal on Bhakkade as he was the rightful candidate for it for 2007-08. Apart from pulling up the university for its stand in this regard, the judge has complimented Bhakkade for his excellent academic career as well as his spirited legal battle to set things right in the varsity. - The Times of India
