New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Thursday i.e. on May 7, 2010 admitted a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by a NGO, Satya Foundation, to put stay orders on the declaration of IIT-JEE 2010 result of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) entrance exam, held on April 11.
The NGO, Satya Foundation, filed the public interest litigation (PIL) on April 23, which was heard on Thursday. The petition was filed raising the issue of errors in the instructions for examinees, who took the IIT joint entrance examination (IIT-JEE) in Hindi.
Chetan Upadhyaya, Secretary and Counsel of Satya Foundation, on Thursday submitted before the court a list of major blunders in the IIT JEE-2010. He also said that instead of accepting the faults and re-conducting the examination, the Joint Admission Board was trying to cover up the issue with corrective measures which are totally illogical and can't be digested by anybody.
However, the IIT-JEE board evolved corrective measures on May 2 to ensure that genuine candidates were not affected by the examination errors. It formulated a point-by-point remedial action and posted the same on the IIT-JEE website on May 2, it said. But the petitioner demanded an interim stay on the publication of results till the pendency of the petition and also that the examination be reconducted.
