The official said "all those candidates who had left the space empty or filled the wrong circle for registration number, roll number booklet series number on OMR sheets were not declared".
According to the petitioners due to the errors in their OMR sheets, their answer sheets were not evaluated. The court dismissed the petition stating that clear instructions were printed on the OMR sheet regarding filling it correctly.
Justice M C Tripathi said "in the garb of minor discrepancies for rectifying such “human error” in the OMR sheets, the court cannot give any liberty to respondent authorities to intervene in the matter at this stage as it might have a serious impact on the “fairness” of the entire selection process."
