Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Executive Council of Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences to cancel the results of re-verification of answer scripts for 294 students who were declared passed after re-evaluation. The Court found that the Vice-Chancellor's actions in re-verifying and re-evaluating the answer scripts were not in accordance with the established procedures, thereby violating the principles of fairness and transparency in academic evaluations. The judgment of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, which set aside the Vice-Chancellor's decision, was affirmed, ensuring that the integrity of the examination process is maintained.
