The Supreme Court of India has permitted state governments to withdraw legal cases against student protesters, aiming to allow these young individuals to continue their education without the fear of ongoing prosecution.

Under the court's directive, the relief is specifically targeted at allowing students to pursue their studies unhindered. However, the exemption does not apply universally, as cases against individuals identified with criminal records will remain active.

In addition to permitting the withdrawal of current protests-related cases, the Supreme Court announced plans to establish formal guidelines regarding the use of grad in future situations.
