DJS Exam: Delhi High Court to release revised answer key

Delhi High Court’s Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Najmi Waziri have reserved orders over two petitions challenging the answer key of the Delhi Judicial Service examination of 2015..One petition (Manish Gupta v Registrar General, Delhi High Court) challenged 2-3 ambiguous questions in the examination which led to the Petitioner securing 2 marks lesser than the cut-off limit for the DJS mains..The other petition (Sumit Kumar v High Court of Delhi & Anr.) assailed only one question in the paper. The Bench had previously issued notice in the first petition filed by Gupta and had sought a response from the Registrar of Delhi High Court..Today when the case came up for hearing, Rajeev Bansal appeared for the High Court, submitting that the contentious questions in Gupta’s petition will be appropriately corrected and a revised answer key will be issued. After taking into consideration this submission, the Bench proceeded to reserve its order in the case..Gupta’s plea filed through Advocates Arpit Bhargava and Hina Bhargava had said that when the answer key for DJS 2015 was released it involved a lot of ambiguities and had many questions with multiple answers that were erroneously marked as correct..Interestingly, the High Court seems to have realized that the exam produced an ambiguous question paper and came up with a notification in December 2015, inviting objections by candidate and further announced that it would be providing corrected answer keys to the candidates.
