As per case facts, the petitioner challenged several questions and/or their answers in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), arguing they were unsuitable, had incorrect answers, or required mathematical calculations
...unsuited for an objective test, leading to an appeal to the Supreme Court against the High Court's rulings on a select number of disputed questions. The question arose whether certain questions in the CLAT examination paper or their prescribed answers were fundamentally flawed, requiring modification of the answer key or deletion of the questions. Finally, the Supreme Court intervened, ordering: 1) For Question 56, both option (c) and the originally marked option (d) would be treated as correct, affirming the fundamental duty of both State and citizens. 2) For Question 77 (involving a minor's agreement), the answer key would be changed to the originally provided option (b), restoring it as a valid question. 3) Question 88 (a logical reasoning puzzle) and Questions 115 and 116 (involving complex calculations based on provided data) were all directed to be deleted across all test sets to ensure all candidates are scored out of the same total number of questions, thus granting relief to the petitioner
