Calcutta High Court on TET 2014 Exam: ‘Questions of 2014 are wrong cases, the answerers of 6 wrong questions should be given marks’, the division bench of Calcutta High Court Justice Subrata Talukdar ordered. A case was filed in Calcutta High Court alleging that 6 questions of TET 2014 Exam are wrong. And this time in that case, Calcutta High Court Justice Subrata Talukder’s division bench order, ‘2014 question is a wrong case, marks should be given to the answerers of 6 wrong questions’. It should be noted that the court constituted the committee with experts from Visva Bharati University. Visva Bharati states that the complaint has merit, i.e. the question is wrong. In view of this, Justice Pravina Chatterjee directed the litigants to give marks only for those wrong questions. Some job seekers approached the Division Bench challenging this order. According to them, why only litigants will get the wrong question number? Extra marks should be given to everyone. The petitioners were defeated by a division bench of Justice Harish Tandon. The case went up to the Supreme Court. On April 1, 2019, the Supreme Court referred the case back to the Calcutta High Court. That case was pending in the division bench of Justice Subrata Talukder. Earlier in the year, the state had hit the Supreme Court in a public interest litigation over the initial 2014 Tate corruption allegations. The Supreme Court dismissed the plea of the state government and sent the case back to the High Court. A public interest litigation was filed in the Calcutta High Court in the 2014 primary recruitment corruption case. The state government went to the Supreme Court challenging that case. In view of that, it is said by the state government, this public interest litigation has been filed after 8 years of appointment. Earlier, the High Court had dismissed a public interest litigation in this regard. They also applied for rejection of this application. But the state’s plea was rejected by the Supreme Court. The case was filed alleging that there were wrong questions in the 2014 TET exam. The question also arose that all the candidates will get extra marks because of that wrong question. A case was filed alleging that 6 questions were wrong. Some candidates filed a case in the High Court alleging that the questions were wrong. After that, a committee was formed with experts from Visva Bharati University to look into the question. The committee examined the question and said that there is a mistake in the question. Then in 2018, the judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. The judge directed the education board to award additional marks. But, he directed that this instruction should be restricted only to the litigants. Then again another case happened. It is claimed that the order should be implemented for everyone. In the end, the seal fell on that instruction.
