Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow the Review Petition filed by Respondent No.1, directing the re-evaluation of his answer scripts for the Tripura Judicial Service Grade-I examination. The Court noted that while the 2003 Rules did not explicitly provide for re-evaluation, there was no prohibition against it if patent errors were found. The Court emphasized that it could not act as a super examiner but found sufficient grounds to warrant a re-evaluation of specific answers marked incorrectly or not awarded marks, thus modifying the earlier dismissal of the Writ Petition.
