The 81-year-old Singh had passed LLB exam in 1969 and secured highest marks in aggregate but was given second position reportedly to allow a college to maintain its merit track record.
To ensure that college holds over the merit track record, the varsity counted merit only on the basis of marks secured in the final year, whereas in aggregate Singhvi had received the highest marks.
Singhvi disapproved the result and approached the court claiming that he deserves first position and the result be reevaluated and revised accordingly.
Rajasthan University Vice Chancellor J P Singhal awarded him the gold medal and a certificate at a simple ceremony at the varsity.
