Power outage: No need for NEET re-exam, NTA tells HC
Chennai: There is no need to conduct re-examination for NEET-2025, as the power outage on May 4 at a Chennai exam centre did not cause any significant disruptions, National Testing Agency ( NTA ) told Madras high court on Tuesday. An inquiry revealed that the exam was not affected, and most students answered majority of the questions. Therefore, there is no need to conduct a re-exam, additional solicitor-general A R L Sundaresan said. On May 17, a vacation judge of the court passed an interim order restraining the NTA from releasing the results of NEET-2025 due to alleged difficulties faced by a group of students because of a power cut at an examination center in Avadi. The court passed the order on a plea moved by 13 students highlighting the issue. On Tuesday, when the plea came up for hearing before Justice C Kumarappan, counsel for the students requested the court to direct the NTA to produce CCTV footage of the exam center to prove whether there was proper lighting during the exam. Recording the submissions, the judge adjourned the plea to June 6 for passing orders. According to petitioners, at the Shri Kendriya Vidyalaya CRPF centre in Avadi, 464 students were issued admit cards to appear for the exam. The exam began at 2 pm as scheduled. However, due to heavy rain, a power outage occurred from 3 pm to 4.15 pm. No backup power facilities were arranged at the centre. As a result, students had to write the exam in poor lighting conditions, they said. Additionally, rainwater entered the exam hall, and students were asked to shift to another location, causing further disruption. Due to these difficulties, students were unable to fully demonstrate their abilities. A request made to exam authorities to allot additional time was also denied, the petitioners said.

Commissioner of examinations can make changes to the caste and religion entries of students in SSLC book, rules Kerala high court
Kochi: High court has held that the commissioner of examinations has the authority to make changes to the caste and religion entries of students in their SSLC books under Rule 3(1), Chapter VI of the Kerala Education Rules (KER), 1959. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Justice D K Singh issued the ruling while allowing a petition filed by Sudhin Krishna C S of Palakkad, who sought a directive to the concerned authorities to change his name and religion in his SSLC book. The petitioner, born to a Muslim father and a Hindu mother, was originally named Mohammed Riyazudeen C S. After attaining majority, he chose not to follow Islam and began practising the Hindu religion, having been raised by his mother in accordance with Hindu tenets. He subsequently applied to the district educational officer seeking changes to his name and religion in the SSLC book, supported by relevant documents, including a certificate from the Arya Samajam, Kozhikode. However, the authorities rejected his request, citing an absence of provisions under the KER, 1959, for altering religious identity in the SSLC book. This led the petitioner to approach the high court. The govt pleader opposed the plea, arguing that no authority had been notified under Rule 3(1), Chapter VI of the KER to effect changes in the caste or religion columns, and that the commissioner of examinations was only authorised to alter the date of birth. The court, however, underscored that the petitioner has a fundamental right to practise a religion of his choice. If a person changes their religion voluntarily and without coercion, fraud, or undue influence, such an act is protected under the Preamble to the Constitution and Article 25, the court noted. Upon examining Rule 3(1), Chapter VI of the KER — titled 'Alteration of Date of Birth etc.' — the court observed that the scope of the rule is not limited to date of birth alone; it also allows for other changes, including religion and caste, to be effected by a competent authority. Accordingly, the court directed the authorities to carry out the changes as requested by the petitioner with respect to his name and religion in the SSLC book.

Married woman can't accuse man of rape on promise of marriage: SC
NEW DELHI: SC has ruled that a married woman cannot accuse a man of rape on promise of marriage while her own marriage is still subsisting, and quashed a rape case filed by her against a man. The case involved a Muslim woman, mother of a four-year-old, residing at her parents' home in Maharashtra's Satara. She developed a relationship with her 23-year-old neighbour, a BSc student. In her police complaint alleging rape on the promise of marriage, she claimed that the man maintained a physical relationship with her from June 8, 2022, to July 8, 2023, assuring her repeatedly that he would marry her after her divorce. She obtained a 'khulanama' (divorce) from husband only on Dec 29, 2022. After FIRs were lodged, the man approached HC for quashing the case, but failed. He moved SC, where a bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and Satish C Sharma found inconsistencies in the woman's narrative and conduct. "The complainant alleged the appellant had physical relations with her without consent. However, she not only sustained the relationship for a year but also visited him at lodges on two occasions. Her conduct does not corroborate her allegations," court said. The bench highlighted that the woman was still married during part of the relationship. Writing the judgment, Justice Sharma noted, "Khulanama was executed on Dec 29, 2022. It is inconceivable she entered a physical relationship with the appellant on promise of marriage while still married. Such a promise was illegal & unenforceable." The court observed that the complaint seemed to have been filed after the man graduated, returned to his hometown Ahmednagar, and a visit by the woman led to a confrontation with his family. Quashing the police cases, SC said, "No reasonable possibility exists that a married woman with a four-year-old child would be continuously deceived or maintain a prolonged association with someone who sexually assaulted her. A consensual relationship turning sour cannot invoke state's criminal machinery."
