The Bombay High Court granted ILS Law College students a one-time relief for the 2025-26 academic year, allowing those barred for attendance shortage to appear for semester-end exams. The court also directed issuance of pending results and ordered supplementary exams within four weeks for students who could not appear, while clarifying that regular attendance rules will continue in future years.

Mumbai, August 11, 2026: In relief to students of ILS Law College, Pune, the Bombay High Court on Monday allowed those barred from semester-end examinations due to shortage of attendance to appear for the examinations.

A bench of Justices Riyaz Chagla and Farhan Dubash said the relief would be available as a "strictly one-time measure" for the 2025-26 academic year. The court also extended the benefit to other similarly placed students who had not approached the court.

The court was hearing petitions filed by around 41 students from different years of the three-year and five-year law courses. Their attendance was between 46 per cent and 54.37 per cent, while they had been barred from appearing for examinations because of the shortage.
