ABHIJIT SEN & ORS. vs STATE OF U.P. & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that if the 'key-answer' provided by the paper-setter is demonstrably wrong, penalizing students for not conforming to it is unfair. The Court emphasized that students should not be penalized for providing answers that align with recognized textbooks. The appeals were allowed, and the students were entitled to additional marks, which would qualify them for admission to the M.B.B.S. Medical Colleges, as the High Court's dismissal of their writ petitions was overturned.
