Indore: While considering the plea of a National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) candidate who received zero marks in the exam, the Madhya Pradesh High Court recently directed the National Testing Agency (NTA) for the original record of the petitioner's examination.
For this, the Indore bench of High Court comprising of Justice Subodh Abhyankar has given the agency one week's time.
"Shri Himanshu Joshi, learned counsel for the respondents seeks and is granted a week's time to call for the original record of the petitioner's NEET examination which was held on 17/07/2022," observed the bench.
Justice Subodh Abhyankar of the Indore bench issued the directive on Tuesday on a petition filed by Lipakshi Patidar (19), resident of Agar-Malwa district, adds PTI.
Petitioner's lawyer Dharmendra Chelawat said that Patidar had answered 161 out of 200 objective questions at the NEET held on July 17, and was confident of doing well.
When results came out on September 7, she was shocked to find that she had received zero marks, he said.
The Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) answer sheet sent to her by e-mail was blank, the lawyer said.
Patidar had secured more than 80 per cent marks in class 10 and 12 examinations and she suspected that her OMR sheet was tampered with, the lawyer contended.
The Union government's lawyer sought a week's time to produce the original record which the court granted, posting the next hearing to September 30.
