Students who cheat in exams should not be spared: Delhi HC-Education News

The Delhi High Court has observed that students who indulge in unfair practices like cheating in exams should not be shown any leniency, and instead, they must be taught a lesson and must be dealt with a “heavy hand”.

“Students, who resort to unfair means and get away with it, cannot build this nation. They cannot be dealt with leniently and they should be made to learn a lesson not to adopt unfair means in their life,” a division bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma said while they also observed that the University has been lenient in imposing category IV punishment rather than rusticating the cheaters.

The bench observed it while it was dealing with a plea by Yogesh Parihar, an engineering student, who had challenged the Delhi Technical University’s (DTU) order for canceling his second-semester exams after he was caught using unfair means in examinations in two subjects. Earlier, the single judge of the High Court had refused to interfere with the DTU order.
