    Summary: The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the writ petition of Shamim Akhtar, who challenged a recruitment examination answer key for falling one mark short of the 50% qualifying threshold. The court held that the recruitment authority properly considered the petitioner's objection to a disputed logic question (where he answered 8 children instead of the keyed answer of 14), and the Recruitment and Promotion Committee's decision to uphold the answer was duly approved by the Chief Justice. The court found no illegality or arbitrariness in the process and ruled that job aspirants must accept the final decisions of recruiting authorities.
