from that taken by the previous HC and SC judgements since those judgements had weighed all aspects of the law thoroughly.<br \/>\nThe bench, however, also reprimanded the state government for lack of coordination among its various departments.<br \/>\nIt noted that earlier this year, while the Nagpur bench of Bombay HC was hearing similar petitions, the state government had decided not to oppose the students.<br \/>\nThough, later, the state had changed its stand and said that it was going to challenge the Nagpur bench&#8217;s order granting relief to some students.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We hope that in the future the concerned departments will have more coordination.
