The Allahabad High Court has held that a student’s right to appear in an examination falls under Article 21.

A pointed remark by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on what he called the “selective targeting of India” set the tone for a visibly tense media interaction with visiting Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski.

The Allahabad High Court has observed that the right to appear in an examination is akin to the right to live with human dignity enshrined in Article 21 of the Constitution.
