Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition regarding the Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (EAMCET) held on 22nd May 1996. The Court found that the appellant was given the wrong answer paper but did not establish that this caused a significant loss of time, as the invigilator acted promptly. The Court emphasized that the examination authorities had a duty to ensure fairness, but the appellant's claim did not warrant relief under Article 226 of the Constitution, leading to the dismissal of her petition.
