Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled that the correctness of key-answers in the Combined Pre-Medical Test can be challenged if it is demonstrated to be wrong, as per the principles established in the case. The Court held that key-answers should be presumed correct unless proven otherwise, and in this case, the students' answers were validated by numerous acknowledged textbooks, indicating the key-answers were incorrect. Consequently, the High Court's decision to allow the petitions was upheld, emphasizing the need for a systematic approach to ensure the accuracy of examination materials.
