Sympathy Or Compassion Has No Role In Matter Of Directing Or Not Directing Re-Evaluation Of Answer Sheets: Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court has observed that sympathy or compassion does not play any role in the matter of directing or not directing re-evaluation of an answer sheets. The Bench of Justice Manju Rani Chauhan further observed that sympathy or compassion does not play any role in the matter of directing or not directing re-evaluation of answer sheet. The petitioners found that answers to 10 questions given in the answer key published by Commission were wrong, therefore, they raised their objections before the commission. The Court was also of the view that the Courts should not re-evaluate or scrutinize the answer sheets of the candidates as it has no expertise in the matter, and that the academic matters are best left to the academicians there being no scope of judicial review in the matter "The Court should not over step its jurisdiction by giving the directions for re-evaluation which would amount to judicially reviewing the decision of the expert in the field.Undoubtedly, the Courts cannot judicially review the expert opinion unless and until the key answer is patently wrong," the Court stressed.
