The Supreme Court of India expressed concern over a Delhi High Court ruling allowing law students with attendance shortages to appear in examinations, observing that such interpretation could weaken classroom-based legal education and turn law college hostels into “just boarding and lodging facilities”.
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant said democracies invest in higher education to create responsible citizens capable of self-governance, not just prosperous graduates. Speaking at the Central University of Haryana convocation, he urged students to use education to strengthen public institutions and serve society.
