Updated on: Friday, December 02, 2011

The Patna high court reserved its order on the results of the 53rd to 55th Combined Common Preliminary Competitive Examination, 2011, conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC).

A single bench of justice A.K. Tripathi passed the order after completion of hearing in the petition filed by Pramod Kumar and others challenging the results of BPSC's 53rd to 55th Combined Common Preliminary Competitive Examination, 2011.

The petitioners had challenged the results on the ground that the BPSC had deleted eight wrong questions from the question papers of the preliminary examination although 12 questions were found to be wrong and re-evaluated the answer sheets.

An experts team formed by the BPSC had submitted a report to the court saying that altogether nine questions were found to be wrong and all examinees should be given one marks each and these nine questions be removed from question papers before evaluating the results on the basis of 141 questions.

The court, after hearing arguments of the contending parties, reserved its order to be announced on a later date.

The BPSC had conducted the preliminary examination of 53rd to 55th Combined Common Preliminary Competitive Examination, 2011 in April this year.
