The counsel said following verification of her admission ticket, she was given the question paper and the answer sheet but after 15 minutes, the superintendent entered the room and forcibly took away the question paper from her. She was not allowed to appear in the examination. She lost one year because of the insensitive attitude of the officials and examiners. Therefore, she should be suitably compensated as well as a discipilanary inquiry should be conducted against the superintendent, the counsel said.
