    Hon'ble Justice Reetobroto Kumar MitraView PDF

    The Calcutta High Court dismissed Soumita Chakraborty's writ petition challenging her disqualification from the SLST 2025 exam due to a form-filling error that cost her 2 marks. The court held that the petitioner's own carelessness caused the mistake and she failed to approach the court promptly (notifying respondents in September but filing the petition only in December), making any corrective order impractical as it would disrupt the entire examination process. The court found no breach of duty by the respondents and ruled that the petitioner cannot be granted a right she did not otherwise possess based on her own error.
