Saket Kumar And 3 Ors vs State Of U.P. And 2 Ors on 29 May, 2015
In paragraphs 15 and 16, it has been asserted that in various objective examinations like Union Public Service Commission, New Delhi and Union Public Service Commission, Allahabad, there is no mechanism whereby OMR sheet wherein the prohibited substances like Whitener/ Blade/Eraser etc. have been used, are identified or segregated or the candidates using such prohibited substances are subjected to any disqualification or penalty or rejection of their candidature. It has been further stated that option to a candidate to change his answer is only based on his personal discretion and the same in no manner increases chance of his success, which ultimately depends on the over all performance of the candidate at different stages of examination. The need of urgency in finalizing the selection has been highlighted in the light of unfilled vacancies on various posts as the selection process involved in the present litigation is continuing since the year 2011 and four years have already passed in the light of the judgement of this Court in Criminal Writ (PIL) No. 1797 of 2011 (Mohammad Qasim vs. State of UP and others).
