IMPHAL | Nov 11

Group of Aspirant MPSC claimed that the result of MPSC (main) examination, 2016 was tempered according to a RTI reply given by MPSC first appellate, H. Gyan Prakash on last Wednesday.

Addressing a press meet today at Manipur Press Club, Group of Aspirant MPSC convenor, S. Robertson said that advocate, Th. Lucy under the RTI has requested the MPSC officials to provide photocopy of the answer sheets of the 82 candidates.

But the MPSC rejected the request as the RTI is filed by a third party under scheduled 11 of the RTI, he added.

The convenor said the reply of the RTI by the MPSC also mentioned that “and whereas the commission has in consultation with the examiners decided to recheck certain number of answer scripts which led to allotment of new marks in certain answer papers.”

Such statement clearly shows that the marks of the examination were tampered, he charged.

Robertson said that MPSC official stating that some of the answers scripts have been recheck by the examiner is very doubtful as the evaluation process was completed in the evening of October 3, 2016 and the result was declared on the next day. “At what time did they rechecked the paper” he asked.

The convenor said that they have decided to take up the matter to the Supreme Court within a few days.
