It is left to the Committee to deal with the issue. Suffice it to say that the Committee may delete the questions wherever discrepancy is found or if in the opinion of the Committee, the answers are correct, the Committee may accordingly take a decision. The decision of the Committee be implemented accordingly.” In view of the above, this petition is disposed of in the above manner. A copy of this order be also placed before Hon'ble the Acting Chief Justice for appropriate directions. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE (TEJINDER SINGH DHINDSA) JUDGE 31.10.2011. lucky
