At this outset, the High Court bench had observed, “These questions are posed only to understand the scope of jurisdiction to be exercised by this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India in a changed scenario where everything is done through virtual mode. Under such a changed scenario, if any candidate is not satisfied with the marks awarded to him/her, what will be the remedy that will be left to the candidate.”
When the High Court order was challenged before the Supreme Court, Mr. Dushyant Parashar, counsel appearing on behalf of Controller of Examination, AIIMS submitted that in the Madras High Court proceedings, the attention of the Single Judge had been specifically drawn to the pendency of proceedings before the top court which had stayed the order of the Central Information Commission dated 20 July 2015.
In this order, the Commission had allowed a 2013 aspirant for accessing the papers and answer keys of the 2013 entrance exam, adds the daily.
Taking note of the submission by the counsel, the top court apart from issuing notice in the petition, also directed to tag the Special Leave Petition concerning the 2013 candidate.
