The case was heard by a bench comprising of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta.

The petitioners stated that the application form for CSE 2025 asks for the scribe details few months before the examination, and such details cannot be changed once submitted.

Seeking an interim relief, Advocate Rahul Bajaj who represented the petitioners pointed out that the PwD candidates are asked to share the details of their scribe by the deadline of application form, that is February 18, months before Prelims exam that is scheduled for May 25, 2025, the Mains exam another three months later.
