Learned advocate and attorney general K K Venugopal was misguided by IIT Madras to present factually incorrect statements in the Supreme Court. They're liable to be persecuted for the same and we'll urge the court for the same on 10th October. It is noteworthy that all these lies are ON RECORD.
Lie No 1:
We can't identify which student appeared in Hindi and which student appeared in English.
The portion of counter affidavit by IIT Madras which was quoted in the 10th July judgement below:
This is admit card of JEE(Advanced) 2017:
You can clearly see the language written here.
Lie No 2:
Many students change their language at the examination centre itself.
This is one of the pages of JEE(Advanced) 2017 Information Brochure.
It clearly mentions that language can't be changed after registration.
This is the set of guidelines sent to Institute Representatives(IR) by JEE Organising Committee 2017. Note that IIT sends its own professors to each examination centre to conduct the exam.
It clearly mentions that language can't be changed under any circumstances.
Lie No 3:
Its impossible to establish check Hindi and English papers on different answer keys. Why?
Because we have no method to identify ORS(Optical Response Sheet) by language of question paper since language is not mentioned on ORS.
This is admit card of JEE(Advanced) 2017:
The roll number of a candidate is a clear link between ORS and Admit Card of a candidate thereby clearly establishing the language of question paper of the candidate. Its all about merging two excel sheets: one having data related to admit card and the other having data related to ORS.
Lie No 4:
The two questions which got misprinted in Hindi paper had a different level of difficulty, hence it's not appropriate to judge students on two different questions having different levels of difficulty.
See the original question and the misprinted question:
According to statement in Supreme Court hearing on 10th July by Prof. Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director, IIT Madras & Chairman, JAB 2017, the two questions had so much difference in difficulty levels that it could lead to injustice!
Lie No 5:
This whole process of re-evaluation and fresh rank list would require a month.
As the scanned copy of the ORS is stored, it just requires the customisation of answer key and the ORS software gives results of the candidates within minutes.
The whole exercise including the segregation of Hindi and English ORS, will require few hours.
Read the views of Prof Dheeraj Sanghi, CSE, IIT Kanpur:
First of all, if the Attorney General claimed that it will take a long time to regrade 2.5 lakh copies, he was misinformed. 2.5 lakh students did not give the exam, and regrading is a matter of changing the key and running a software, which should take a few minutes to give the result.

Lie No 6:
This re-counseling would lead to zero session meaning loss of entire academic session. As per their own schedule, they' re going to complete the entire process in three weeks. Given that 99% students have done physical verification and counselling fee submission, this process can be wound up in two weeks easily, the academic session starting comfortably in 1st week of August.
Some of the IITs were in fact, going to start their session by as late as IIT Jammu(8th August).
In fact the Supreme Court judgement itself is based on believing in these lies as true facts.
