Article 226 | Writ Mandamus Directs Exam Paper Scrutiny to Prevent Irreparable Academic Harm : Allahabad HC
Allahabad HC invoked Article 226 to order scrutiny of a student's Mathematics exam paper before the JEE eligibility deadline, holding that erroneous marking causing a 3% shortfall in aggregate marks warrants judicial intervention to prevent irreversible academic consequences. The ruling underscores the court's power to direct administrative bodies to rectify assessment errors where statutory remedies are time-barred.
