Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Bihar Public Service Commission's procedure for evaluating examination papers does not allow for re-evaluation, as per the established rules. The Court emphasized that the absence of a provision for re-evaluation in the rules means that the Commission's decision to maintain the original marks is valid. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow the Commission's appeal, thereby denying the appellant's request for re-evaluation of his General Science paper marks.
