- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Chennai

Justice V Lakshminarayanan passed the interim order on Friday while hearing a petition seeking re-examination.

The petition, filed by 13 aggrieved students, claimed power outage at the exam centre which "deprived them of equal opportunity and a fair environment". The 13 affected students had taken the exam at PM Shri Kendriya Vidyalaya CRPF School in Avadi on May 4, 2025.

Directing the respondent authorities, including the National Medical Commission (NMC) and the National Testing Agency (NTA), to file a reply to the petition by June 2, the judge, accordingly, adjourned the hearing.

Advocate T Saikrishnan, representing the petitioners, submitted that 464 candidates appeared for the examination at the centre where the electricity supply was disconnected (approximately from 3 pm to 4.15 pm) due to gusty winds and heavy rain. The rainwater also entered the exam hall, forcing them to be shifted to other halls, he said.
