Kanpur University And Others vs Samir Gupta And Others on 27 September, 1983
10 There is no dispute with regard to the filing of O.A before the
Tribunal in respect of the wrong answers provided in the Key
pertaining to the Q.Nos.62, 128, 198 in Booklet-D. The direction
given by the Tribunal was to add marks to all the candidates who
have appeared for the selection to the post of PET in pursuance to
the notification issued by DSC-2008. Whereas, when the said order
was challenged before the High Court, the erstwhile High Court of
Andhra Pradesh, on the contention advanced by the learned
Government Pleader for Services that if the direction given by the
Tribunal is implemented the entire process will become a ponderous
box and to re-cast the merit list and add ½ mark to each of the
candidate will lead to serious repercussion, the High Court, placing
reliance on the ratio laid down in Kanpur University v. Samir
Gupta, while dismissing the writ petitions, observed that the order
of the Tribunal is only confined to the applicants only and no fresh
OA will be entertained.
