Pertaining to the NPSC (NCS,NPS, NSS and Allied Service) Examination 2014-15, the petitioners has issued clarification highlighting the sequence of events of the court case, which was pending before the Division Bench, Guhati High Court.
In a press release, the petitioners pointed out that they had appealed to the High Court, Kohima Bench by filing the writ petition challenging the action of the NPSC whereby the NPSC by notification dated September 12, 2014 notified that 119 questions would be nullified.
However, they said contrary to the notification, at its meeting minutes dated September 11, 2014, the Commission awarded equal marks to all the candidates.
Being aggrieved, they filed writ petition and the court by an order dated October 13, 2014 directed the NPSC not to declare the result.
Then the NPSC filed its reply and also applied for vacating the stay order. The High Court in the miscellaneous application directed NPSC to issue corrigendum correcting their notification dated September 12, 2014 in view of the resolution by minutes dated September 11, 2014.
Accordingly, the petitioners said NPSC issued a corrigendum, whereby 119 marks were allotted to all candidates who did not even attempt the questions, which they termed as “unjust and unfair.”
Further, the petitioners filed an appeal against the single judge Order dated November 24, 2014 before the division bench, which by an Order dated December 19, 2014 directed the NPSC not to declare the result of the interview if conducted without the permission of the Court. NPSC conducted the interview but did not declare the result in view of the order, they said.
While pointing out that the matter was sub judice, the petitioners have reminded the general public and candidates that it was not proper to publish any article to the pending court case. They maintained it was for the court to decide whether the action of the NPSC was justified.
