Giving relief to the successful candidates of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2020, the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court has dismissed the petition challenging the answersheet.
The Court said the disputed questions raised in the petition have been considered by the experts and they have found the relevant answers to be correct.
A single bench of Justice Rajneesh Kumar gave this order on a petition filed by Saliha Khan and other candidates.
It was said in the petition that after issuing the answersheet of NEET, objections were invited from candidates by issuing notice on September 27. On this, the petitioners sent objections on two questions.
The petitioners said that the answers to the 19th and 148th questions of booklet number G4 were wrong. It was claimed that the correct answer to question number 19 was option 4 whereas the answersheet stated option 1 as the correct answer.
Similarly, the correct answer to question number 148 is option 1, but the answersheet says option 3 is the correct answer.
After hearing the arguments of the parties in the case, the Court said in its order that when an objection is raised to a reply, it is sent to the expert of that subject. If there is no deficiency in the question and answer related to the expert, then this Court cannot test the correctness of the question-answer or answersheet, simply because some candidates are not satisfied with the relevant answer.
The Court said that in this case, the IITs and professors of reputed universities have considered the objections of the petitioners and found the answersheet to be correct.
