In Brief
This case concerns the selection of Senior Teachers in Rajasthan following a 2016 advertisement. After initial selection based on an answer key, some candidates challenged the correctness of certain exam questions. A Division Bench of the High Court examined the questions itself and found errors, then ordered a revised selection list. The Supreme Court held that courts cannot examine exam questions or answer keys themselves or override expert committee findings. Courts must defer to expert opinion in academic matters. The delay in finalizing appointments is primarily caused by prolonged litigation, which harms administration. The Court upheld the Select List based on the expert committee's revised answer key and dismissed the appellants' appeals.
