The wait for lakhs of final year students will come to an end today when the Supreme Court announces its verdict on the pleas challenging the decision of UGC asking universities and colleges to conduct exams by September 30 amid the coronavirus pandemic. A bench headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan, which had reserved its verdict on August 18, will pronounce the judgment at 10.30 am today. Advocate Alakh Alok Srivastava, who has been at the helm of affairs presenting the students' case before the apex court, hoped for a decision in the larger interest of students. Anubha Shrivastava Sahai, the chief of the India Wide Parents' Association, said she was expecting the order in the favour of students. "We hope SC will pass an order in the larger interest of the students. But they have already clarified about the state autonomy in the last hearing," she told India TV.
