RAJESH SINGH CHAUHAN
Ayushi Patel – Appellant
Versus
Union of India – Respondent
JUDGMENT
Rajesh Singh Chauhan, J.
Heard Sri. Piyush Agnihotri, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri. Varun Pandey holding brief of Sri. S.B. Pandey, learned Senior Advocate & D.S.G.I. for opposite party no. 1 and Sri. Shashank Bhasin, learned counsel for the opposite party no. 2.
2. This Court has passed the order dated 12.6.2024 which reads as under :
The submission of forged documents in examination processes can lead to legal action against the candidate, and petitions based on such submissions may be dismissed.
The court affirmed that the integrity of official examination records is paramount, and claims based on discrepancies without credible evidence are insufficient to challenge the results.
Allegations of examination tampering must be substantiated with credible evidence to establish a legal cause of action for relief.
The Court held that the original OMR sheet produced by the 2nd respondent was the only one mark sheet of the petitioner and there was no discrepancy in the documents produced by the respondents.
The evaluation undertaken by the examining bodies should not be viewed with suspicion unless it is prima facie established that it was not fair or transparent.
Adherence to examination instructions is mandatory; deviations such as double bubbling justify evaluation outcomes, and courts should not interfere in such cases.
The court's decision emphasized the need for the petitioner to seek redressal through the appropriate forum, declining to entertain the petition under Article 226 of the Constitution.
