Their counsel Chilla Ramesh told the court that the authorities gave very short time for candidates to furnish their objections. “Our objections were never seriously considered,” he said.State counsel Sarat Kumar contended that the PRB got the question paper prepared by experts from JNTU through a confidential process and denied error or ambiguity in the questions. He also said that courts cannot review decisions that were in the ambit of subject experts and a failed candidate cannot ask for deletion of questions as it would adversely affect those who had already qualified. “We are ready to only accommodate the petitioners who approached this court,” he said.Refusing the concession from the state counsel, petitioners told the court that they were not asking the court to disturb those who were already qualified. “Revalue only the papers of those who could not qualify for faulty questions. If solace is given to only those who approached the court then what happens to those who could not come to court,” theysaid.The judge said that there was a prima facie case and ordered deletion of six questions as they were faulty, ambiguous and incorrectly framed.
