However, the court replied that "you have mercy on this court and do not waste its valuable time and have mercy on this country and do not become an engineer". "When you could not pass an engineering degree in nine years how can you clear 17 compartments in one attempt. It is better to choose some other career, but not engineering," the court observed.

The High Court reportedly added that it has no sympathies for people like him, who are wasting the country's resources. The court further added that expenses incurred by the institution over the period of time were more than the fees he had paid. The court also reportedly said not to waste its time.
