PRAYAGRAJ: The Allahabad high court has recently held that the burden to prove fair evaluation cannot be shifted on the examining body unless the candidate produces an answer script to prove any discrepancy in marking.
Dismissing a writ petition filed by one Manoj Kumar Tiwari seeking re-evaluation of his answer script, Justice Yashwant Varma observed, “The practice of approaching this court directly without obtaining copies of the answer scripts or seeking directions requiring examining bodies to produce answer books cannot but be deprecated in the strongest terms, discouraged and curbed.”
The petitioner had filed this petition seeking re-evaluation of his answer script for a particular subject in the entrance exam conducted for admission to D.EL.E.D course.
