The bench stated that the committee clearly concluded that option four was the only correct answer, affirming that the National Testing Agency (NTA) was accurate in its answer key with option four.
The hearing is ongoing, with Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre and the NTA, currently presenting his arguments.
