COMPETENT AUTHORITY ENTRANCE EXAMINATION Vs. WASIM ASHRAF

JUDGEMENT

(1.) BY this common judgment, we propose and proceed to dispose of the bunch of LPAs which are referred to hereinafter and the CMPs filed alongwith these appeals. These appeals relate to and arise out of entrance examination conducted by the Competent Authority, Entrance Examinations (in short CAEE) for admission to MBBS/BDS courses for the year 1995.

(2.) THE Information Brochure issued in this behalf by the CAEE makes out that selection for admission to MBBS/BDS courses shall be made on the basis of competitive entrance examination and will be in the form of multiple choice questions and each multiple choice question shall be followed by four options, out of which one will be correct/most appropriate and the other three will be only destructors as is envisaged under Rule 12.1.2 read with illustration 2 in the said Information Brochure and for each correct answer in the answer sheet, the candidates has to get one mark and for incorrect answer, he will not be given any mark, that means that incorrect answer/ option will not be valued. The question booklet which will be provided to the student/candidates will be of four series viz Series A, Series B, Series C and Series, only to avoid copying or unfair means by the candidates as because a person appearing in A series will be surrounded by other series of students namely B,C, and D and they will not be in a position to communicate with each other or to help each other in such examination, obviously on the ground that though the question in all the series will be same, but they will be numbered differently in different series. To that aspect, we will come later on while discussing the questions and the answers which are disputed by the respondents before us.

(3.) THE Information Brochure further provides that the number of questions so put will be seventy. Each question will carry one mark and all question are compulsory. Each candidate has to appear in three papers/subjects for seeking admission to MBBS/BDS courses. First paper/subject will be that of Physics, second Chemistry and third paper of biology with 1Â 1/2 hours duration in each paper.
