Judicial review of examination committees must ensure fair consideration of grievances regarding answer keys and examination integrity.

JUDGMENT Dated this the 3^rd day of March, 2026 The petitioner appeared for K-TET Examination in pursuant to Ext.P1 notification dated 30.06.2025. The grievance of the petitioner is that question No.67 in Ext.P4 K-TET Examination, June 2025 question paper, though gave four options, did not have the correct answer. The petitioner would urge that the petitioner is entitled to get one mark more in the K-TET Examination due to the erroneous question, in which event the petitioner will pass the examination.

2. It is evident from the pleadings that the petitioner’s friend submitted a complaint regarding the provisional answer key published in the official website as per Ext.P6. However, Ext.P7 would indicate that the objections raised by the petitioner and similarly situated persons were not considered. A perusal of question No.67 in Ext.P4 would show that there is no correct answer.

In the circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1^st respondent to consider Ext.P6 objection and take appropriate decision thereon taking note of Exts.P11 and P12 judgments also. A decision shall be taken within a period of two months after giving opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and if necessary, after obtaining further expert opinion in the matter.
