Learned counsel appearing for respondent No.2-NTA has filed a counter affidavit on behalf of respondent No.2 inter-alia revealing that the petitioner had infact after the direction of the Apex Court obtained 235 marks (Annexure P-9) and the remaining documents i.e. Annexures P-7 & P-8 do not reflect the correct picture. He has also made certain allegations of Annexures P-7 & P-8 to be fake documents but this Court would need not to enter into the said controversy.

Learned counsel for the petitioner, who has verified the contents of the counter affidavit which include OMR sheet filled in by the petitioner and also the final answer key as well as the attendance sheet, does not dispute that Annexure P-9 showing the total marks obtained by the petitioner to be 235 and the All India ranking as 826825 to be correct. 5.
In view of above, this Court without entering into controversy as to whether the mark-sheets are fake or not especially Annexures P-7 and P-8, disposes of this petition with the observation that the correct mark-sheet of the petitioner is Annexure P-9 showing her marks as 235 and the All India ranking as 826825.
