During the test, the petitioner had recorded her fingerprint and her personal details, including the name of parent, on the OMR sheet. However, the OMR sheet published in her name has the name of her parent in somebody else’s handwriting and the fingerprint doesn’t match hers, the petitioner has alleged. It is also pointed out that the roll number entered in numerals and the one in the OMR format are different. After perusing these details, the court directed NTA to conduct a probe.
