After a long legal battle, finally the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has released the revised result of UP Judicial Service Civil Judge (Junior Division) Mains (Written) Examination-2022, commonly known as PCS (J) Mains-2022.
In the revised result, five more candidates have been declared successful in the interview round of the recruitment process. These are the candidates who were declared failed despite having passed the main examination. In the revised result, the commission has made it clear that the commission will conduct separate interviews for these five candidates with registration numbers 047370, 047380, 047665 and 047718.
UPPSC Controller of Examinations Harsh Dev Pandey said the commission will issue a separate notification with the date and time of these interviews.
It may be noted that after seeing his copy in RTI, a candidate Shravan Pandey had filed a petition in the Allahabad High Court alleging that the handwriting of his answer sheet of English subject had been changed and some pages of another answer sheet had been torn. Due to which he could not clear the main examination. In this regard, the UPPSC was directed to produce his answer sheets of six question papers before the court. Following this, after hearing, the negligence was revealed layer by layer and it was found that the copies of 50 candidates were swapped.
Interestingly, Shravan Pandey has also been declared successful in the main examination and as a result, he will also be giving an interview along with four other candidates declared successful in the revised results.
The UPPSC has made it clear that the outcome will be subject to the final decision of the Allahabad High Court in the petition filed by Shravan Pandey and other petitions of similar nature. The next hearing in Shravan Pandey’s case will be held on August 28.
The UP Judicial Service Civil Judge (Junior Division) Mains (Written) Examination 2022, commonly known as PCS (J) Mains-2022 was held between May 22, 2023, and May 25, 2023, while the results were announced on August 30, 2023, and the marks were made public in November 2023.
The review of answer sheets began when a candidate for the PCS (J) Main 2022 exam, Shravan Pandey, saw his answer sheets redacted under the RTI Act.
After Sharavan filed a petition, on June 5, 2024, the Allahabad High Court directed the UPPSC to produce the answer sheets of six question papers of the petitioner before the court.
The commission had appeared before the apex court on June 7, 2024, and had given an affidavit that after the case came to light, the internal process of allotment of fictitious roll numbers was being examined to ensure their anonymity during evaluation of 18,042 answer sheets of the 3,019 candidates who had appeared for the main examination.
Meanwhile, the commission had also started showing the answer sheets to the candidates from June 20. Candidates who appeared for the PCS-J Main Examination 2022 were shown their copies till July 30 according to their serial numbers.
Meanwhile, the UPPSC had admitted before the Allahabad High Court the mistake in allotting fake roll numbers (code) to the candidates of UP Judicial Service Civil Judge (Junior Division) (Main) Examination-2022.
From June 20 to July 30, only 1,343 (44.48%) candidates had come to the UPPSC headquarters to see their copies. On August 13, the commission had given an affidavit before the High Court that the revised result would be released soon.
