[RPSC RAS Prelims] Court Can't Determine Correctness Of Answer Key On Its Own, Scope Of Judicial Review Miniscule Only After Obtaining Expert Opinion: Rajasthan HC

Live Law  

The Rajasthan High Court has recently refused to quash the final answer key uploaded by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission in the RAS Preliminary Exam by reasoning that the power of judicial review can be exercised only in 'exceptional circumstances', i.e., only when it is found that the answer keys are shown to be 'palpably and demonstrably erroneous'. The court, with regards to the model answer key dated 01.10.2023, found that RPSC has rightly received objections and consulted with experts before finalising the answer key on 20.10.2023 by making the necessary changes. The process and the impugned finding, ought not to be so manifestly unreasonable in its conclusion, that no reasonable individual placed in an akin situation would arrive at such a conclusion.” The court, while refusing to interfere with the final answer key for the Prelims, iterated that expert opinion is the final word in academic matters. “…It is also not possible in such circumstances to go on appointing committees, especially when the experts have duly analyzed the objections received from the candidates/petitioners and thereafter, released the final answer key dated 20.10.2023….”, Justice Jain has clarified in the order.
