Dipke claimed that several candidates were declared unsuccessful despite the issues being beyond their control and demanded that the test be held again. The CJP convenor also urged the district court judge, whom he claimed was present at the examination centre, to meet the protesting candidates and give them a written commitment that a re-test would be arranged. While stating that the online examination for the High Court had created “complete chaos”, he flagged server glitches that resulted in candidates being marked as failed. "Until the demands of these candidates are fulfilled, I will remain here with them. If they have decided to sit in protest, I will support them," he said, according to PTI. The protesters alleged that computers malfunctioned during the examination, with some reporting yellow screens and keyboards that stopped responding. They said the disruptions left candidates worried about losing their chance to complete the test and called for a fresh examination.
