2.The appellants herein wrote TET paper I and II. They did not pass. This, according to them, was because the key answers in some cases were wrong and in some cases, questions had been wrongly formulated. But they could not get any relief before the learned Single Judge and hence these writ appeals. Though we perused the opinion expressed by the experts and also the supporting material and we felt that the appellants' grievance may have some force, we are unable to intervene in view of the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in (2018) 2 SCC 357 (Ran Vijay Singh & 4/6

5 W.A.(MD)NO.484 OF 2024 Others V. State of U.P. and others). A coordinate Division Bench while dealing with a similar issue had also observed that such matters cannot be examined at length in writ proceedings and that they should be left to the wisdom of the recruitment board (TRB). Hence, these writ appeals stand dismissed. No costs. (G.R.SWAMINATHAN, J.) & (K.RAJASEKAR, J.) 8th July 2025 NCC : Yes / No Index : Yes / No Internet : Yes/ No PMU/skm To:
