Karnataka High Court directs universities to regulate suspension orders to allow students to attend classes and exams while disciplinary proceedings are pending. The ruling emphasizes that academic rights must not be entirely curtailed during internal complaints committee (ICC) inquiries, setting a precedent for balancing discipline with educational continuity.

The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that universities must furnish students with all disciplinary reports and expert evidence before imposing expulsion. Failure to do so violates principles of natural justice, entitling students to a fair opportunity to respond and challenge allegations. This sets a precedent for procedural fairness in academic disciplinary actions.
