Prof. Mustafa notes that it is incredulous that lakhs of students are being made to give these examinations, including students who are being flown in from abroad.

Prof. Mustafa: Though Right to Higher Education is not a fundamental right, Right to Health comes under Article 21, and this should have been explained to the Court.

Prof. Mustafa says that “Health” includes complete social, mental & physical well-being. “With lakhs of COVID positive cases & thousands of death in India, can we say that we have achieved mental health?”

Prof. Mustafa uses the calendar for IIT as an example and says that each semester runs for a duration of 14-16 weeks, with 2 weeks for exams, and heavens would not fall if few weeks were reduced.

Prof. Mustafa: MCI has very strict regulations, but the SC itself stated in 2012 that this could be relaxed in rare & pressing cases of exceptional emergency, which was quoted by Jus. Mishra when he was CJ of Cal HC.
