[CW-10986/2023]
(2 of 4)
“33. We, therefore, deem it proper to direct the Examination Cell of the High Court to constitute an Expert Committee consisting of Eminent Jurists/Professors. The Expert Committee would pick up 20 copies of each paper randomly and shall examine and evaluate the same and while evaluating the answersheets, the Expert Committee will be free to take into consideration the length of the paper and the time provided for answering the questions. The Examination Cell shall mask the numbers, which the candidates have obtained and then provide it to the Expert Committee. After the copies are evaluated, the Examination Cell shall prepare a tabular chart depicting the marks awarded presently and the marks awarded after the copies are examined by the Expert Committee. The average difference in the marks, be it more or less should then be brought to the notice of the High Court. The High Court while considering the same and for maintaining efficiency in service would take a decision on administrative side as to whether:
(a) No modification is required to be made in the result;
(b) Bonus marks should be awarded to all the candidates and;
(c) All the answer-sheets are required to be reevaluated

[CW-10986/2023]
re-valuation by the Expert Committee and marks awarded by the Expert Committee and tabular chart prepared by the Examination Cell shall not be provided to any candidate. Looking to the controversy and allegations with regard to evaluation by Officers of the District Judge Cadre, we deem it proper to advise the Examination Cell to get the copies examined by Eminent Jurists/Professors in ensuing examinations.
[2024:RJ-JD:29811-DB]
[CW-10986/2023]
squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in the case of Nisha Gaur (supra) . However, we would like to make it clear that, in case, the expert committee constituted by the respondents in compliance of the judgment passed by this Court in the case of Nisha Gaur (supra), deems so fit, it may also examine the discrepancies pointed out by the individual candidate(s).
