The Bombay High Court observed that students are not anti-social elements and that raising their voices against a lack of transparency in the examination system is their fundamental right. However, to prevent academic loss and traffic congestion, the court requested students to call off the protest, return to their studies, or consider an alternative location that does not inconvenience the public.
Following the hearing, MLA Rohit Pawar maintained an aggressive stance, demanding the resignation of MPSC Chairman Vivek Bhimanwar and Minister Atul Save due to ongoing exam confusion, paper leaks, and the cancellation of the Mahajyoti examination in Ambegaon. He also insisted that future exams should be conducted offline rather than online.
The next hearing for the matter involving the MPSC student protests and related administrative grievances is scheduled to take place on November 25.
