Justice Shankar asks Poovayya: I just want to know if there are any problems that the students may face problems while taking online exams?

Gautam: I had put in a representation that in case I am not able to take the exam due to lack technical equipment or know-how, then what do I do. NLS replied that it was not responsible for internet issues that occurred in the test centres which have been set up

Gautam: Notification is in blatant disregard of a Supreme Court order on CLAT exam.

Justice Shankar: But those are procedural issues. The argument then can be that this was not worth even listing and thats why was not taken up by a particular HC.

Justice Shankar: Maintaining the judicial decorum and keeping in mind the possibility of multiplicity of proceedings is important.

Adv. Gautam: What if the case is not listed in the other HC'S?

Adv. Gautam: This is the first writ petition which has been filed in this regard.

Justice Shankar: But that does not satisfy my question. You chose to come here and appear before the Jharkhand HC.
