Case Summary: Rajeev Kumar v. Union of India (CA No. 007100/2011) The Supreme Court allowed Rajeev Kumar's appeal against the Delhi High Court's dismissal of his writ petition challenging the Joint Entrance Test (JET). The High Court had rejected the petition on lack of locus standi, but the Supreme Court found this unjustified, noting Kumar was an IIT Kharagpur professor whose children had appeared in JET (2006, 2010) and had legitimate interest in ensuring transparent, fair examinations. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter for merit-based disposal, granting parties liberty to seek expeditious hearing.
