Rajasthan High Court Asks NLU Jodhpur To Inform On Issuance Of Mark-Sheet To Student Alleging Denial Of Gold-Medal During 2025 Convocation

While hearing a plea by an NLU Jodhpur student who has alleged denial of Gold Medal by the varsity in the 17th Convocation ceremony held in 2025, the Rajasthan High Court last week asked the varsity to complete its instructions with regard to issuance of mark-sheet to the student.

For context, the high court had on November 6, 2025 issued notice on the student's plea.

When the matter was listed on May 22, Justice Sanjeet Purohit, while listing the matter in second week of July said:

"Learned counsel for the respondents seeks time to file reply to the application filed for seeking amendment in the writ petition. List the matter in the second week of July, 2026. In the meantime, the respondents shall also complete instructions with regard to issuance of mark-sheet of the petitioner," the court said.

The petitioner claimed entitlement over a Gold Medal that was, by practice, given to the student securing highest marks in a particular subject, and alleged that the medal was given to someone else.

It was submitted in his petition that even in the convocation brochures prepared by the University, his name was appearing as the receiver of that medal. However, as contended by him, it was only in the convocation that he got to know about the medal being given to someone else.
