Summary:
The Bombay High Court observed that incidents of mass copying and paper leaks are a “curse to the system”, and they take away the fruits of labour from meritorious students. Similarly, another candidate, who had secured 12 marks in maths in Class X examination secured 100 marks in the subject in recruitment process. A comparative study revealed a similar trend of low scorers in Class X exams scoring higher than those who did well in SSC exams. It said the highest authorities of the department should ask paper setters to set the paper just an hour before the exam. The petitioners also sought directions to the Chief Post Master General to restore the selection list declared earlier as successful candidates..
