Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a question in a competitive examination for the post of Gram Panchayat Adhikari, where the answer key included a deceased minister as the correct answer. The court found that the inclusion of a question referencing a deceased individual was misleading and could affect the fairness of the examination process. Consequently, the court ruled in favor of the respondents, emphasizing the need for accuracy and fairness in public service examinations.
