Hyderabad: The Hyderabad High Court on Monday directed the NTR University of Health Sciences to manually reevaluate answer sheets of about 50 PG medical students who had appeared for the examinations in May 2017.
Justice A. Ramalingeswara Rao while dealing with batch of petition by Dr C. Sai Suveer Reddy and others, granted a stay on the supplementary examinations from October 28.
He said the supplementary examinations would not be conducted without completing the re-evaluation of answer sheets of the petitioners.
The petitioners had challenged the digital evaluation of answer sheets and the university not permitting them to verify their answer sheets personally.
Mr Kiran Tirumalasetti, counsel for some of the petitioners, said that previously, the answer scripts used to be corrected manually and students could verify whether or not the marks were assigned correctly.
Mr Tirumalasetti said that when the varsity introduced the digital evaluation for the earlier batch, the High Court had found some discrepancies in the mechanism and had directed the varsity to re-evaluate the answer sheets of the petitioners who had moved court earlier.
Court to hear HPS student demotion appeal tomorrow
The Hyderabad High Court on Monday said that it would hear the case of a student of Hyderabad Public School seeking demotion from Class 2 to Class 1 on Wednesday.
A division bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganathan and Justice M. Ganga Rao was dealing with an appeal by the student represented by her grandmother challenging an order of single judge dismissing their writ petition.
Counsel appearing for the student said they had made an application to the school management seeking demotion of the student as she could not academically cope with the standards of Class 2, and the management was delaying their case. He urged the court to expedite the hearing on humanitarian grounds.
Counsel for the school told the court that they had already filed their counter affidavit. The bench posted the case to Wednesday.
