Sunil Kumar & Etc. Etc vs Bihar Public Service Commission & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Bihar Public Service Commission's method of moderating marks in the 53rd to 55th Combined (Mains) Competitive Examinations, 2011 was contrary to the High Court's earlier directive and the principles established in Sanjay Singh v. U.P. Public Service Commission. The Court emphasized that moderation is only applicable in common examinations without optional subjects, and in cases with different subjects, scaling of marks should be applied. The Court set aside the results declared by the Commission, affirming the need for adherence to established guidelines.
