W.P.(C) 7767/2020 & CM APPL. No.25586/2020 (stay)

1. This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a direction to the respondents to declare the result of the daughter of the petitioner, Ms.Kedar Priya Ambati of JEE (ADVANCE) 2020 considering her to be in the OBC-NCL category (OBC Non-Creamy Layer).

2. It is submitted by the petitioner that respondent No.2 conducted the JEE (ADVANCE) examination which was held on 27.09.2020. The petitioner and her daughter belong to OBC-NCL category. The daughter of the petitioner appeared in the JEE (MAINS) 2020 exam and opted for the category OBC-NCL. The result of the petitioner was declared and she has a common rank list of 14731 whereas for the OBC-NCL the same would have worked out to 3098. It is pleaded in the petition that the daughter of the petitioner got herself enrolled on the web portal for the JEE (ADVANCE) 2020. There was some confusion as the petitioner did not have available the OBC-NCL certificate in the latest form. The petitioner, therefore, unselected the category OBC-NCL. The petitioner received an SMS on 29.09.2020
