Judgment text excerpt
The Patna High Court held that under Article 226 of the Constitution, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) must ensure fair evaluation of answer sheets. The Division Bench affirmed the Single Judge's finding that the respondent was entitled to two additional marks due to incorrect evaluation of her answers. Consequently, the court directed the CBSE to admit the respondent to the MBBS course for the next academic session, emphasizing that the delay in filing the appeal should not prejudice her right to relief.
