Vacating the interim stay granted earlier, the Madras High Court has paved the way for the TN Public Service Commission (TNPSC) to publish the results of the examinations conducted in July this year for Group IV services.
While passing interim orders on the writ petitions from K Murugan of Dharmapuri district and another, Justice S Nagamuthu on August 17 this year had restrained the TNPSC from publishing the results. The other process including valuation of the papers could, however, go on, the judge had said.
According to petitioners, the question papers furnished to them for selection to the 10,780 posts in various departments did not carry all the questions. There were in total 200 questions. But the question paper contained only questions 1 to 59 and 154 to 200, with the remaining questions (from 60 to 153) missing.
When the matter came up, TNPSC counsel told the judge that in all 13 candidates were affected by the supply of defective question papers. The TNPSC decided to afford an opportunity to all of them by holding a fresh exam and accordingly the exam was conducted on September 27. Of the 13 candidates, nine, including the petitioners, had participated in the exam. Counsel for petitioners told the judge he had no further grievance.
Disposing the pleas, the judge vacated the interim stay.
