"The case was mentioned today and the single-judge bench of Justice Arvind Singh Chandel posted it for hearing on January 15. We have prayed for cancellation of exam citing irregularities and direction not to publish result till re-test is held," said advocate Pranav Kumar.

The petition was filed on Thursday, three days after Kishor was arrested and subsequently granted bail.
