Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of an examination question concerning the Panchayati Raj Minister in Uttar Pradesh, which became problematic due to the minister's death shortly before the exam. The court found that the answer key published after the examination incorrectly included the deceased minister as the correct answer. Consequently, the court ruled that the decision of the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Service Selection Commission to uphold the answer key was flawed and required rectification.
