DHC allowed the appeal & said revaluation is different from challenging correctness of ans key and a candidate can surely challenge correctness of an answer key. The test for interference by court is that the official ans key is "demonstrabily wrong". So, HC has remanded back the matter to CAT to decide the candidate's petition on merits (which CAT had not done earlier). Interesting
