Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Bihar Public Service Commission's rules do not provide for re-evaluation of answer-books, only for scrutiny, as per the established procedure. The Court emphasized that allowing re-evaluation could lead to an influx of similar requests, causing delays in results. Consequently, the Court upheld the Patna High Court's decision to set aside the Single Judge's order for re-evaluation, affirming the Commission's authority in maintaining uniform standards in examination evaluation under the relevant rules.
