Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Selection Committee, finding that the corrections made to the model answer paper were justified and constituted mere rectification rather than re-evaluation. The Court dismissed the appellant's claims of mala fides against the Selection Committee, stating that such allegations must be supported by cogent evidence rather than mere suspicion. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the validity of the Selection Committee's actions.
