The petitioner was also looking for the direction of the State Government to formulate the instructions for the calling of candidates officials at the time of joining the exam centers and launching strict steps against officials who prevented students from entering the Halls to write CET.
When the head of the lawyer was looking for the direction of the state government and Kea to take re -examination for those who had become the victims of such an unlawful act to remove their “Janivary”, the bench said that the petitioner would have to justify the accusation of providing the necessary materials and information such as students, etc.
