WPMS 2604/ 2025
Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J.
Mr. Ajeet Kumar Yadav, Advocate,
for the petitioner.
Mr. Saurabh Adhikari, Standing
Counsel, for the Union of India.
Mr. Shashank Upadhyaya,
Advocate, for the respondent no. 2.
(2) Petitioner participated in NEET (UG) 2025, held by National Testing Agency. According to the petitioner, originally, his marks, as declared by National Testing Agency, were 555 out of 720, but subsequently the marks were revised and petitioner was given score card in which his score was mentioned as 21 out of 720. By means of this writ petition, petitioner has sought the
following reliefs:
“(i) Issue a writ of
mandamus/certiorari directing Respondent No. 2 (NTA) to produce before this Hon’ble Court the petitioner’s original OMR sheet, answer key, and evaluation records
pertaining to NEET-UG 2025.
(ii) Quash/set aside the
erroneous result showing 21 marks and direct the respondents to re-evaluate and restore the petitioner’s correct score of
555 marks (as initially reflected). (iii) Direct the Respondents to
allow the petitioner to register and participate in NEET-UG 2025 counselling on the basis of his correct score and rank.” (3) Mr. Shashank Upadhyaya, learned Counsel appearing for the National Testing Agency/respondent no. 2, however,
disputes the submission made by learned Counsel for the petitioner. He submits that marks sheet was never revised and there is no material, whatsoever, with the petitioner to show that originally his marks were 555 out of 720. He submits that as per the result, petitioner could score only 21 marks out of 720. He handed over copy of the OMR Sheet to learned Counsel for the petitioner and he, therefore, submits that the relief as sought by the petitioner do not survive, as he has only sought copy of the OMR Sheet.
(4) Having regard to the facts of the case and also the submission made by learned Counsel for the petitioner, writ petition is disposed of by taking the statement made by Mr. Upadhayaya on record.
