Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court of Manipur's order for re-verification of answer scripts in the Manipur Civil Services selection process, emphasizing the need for an inquiry due to reported irregularities. The Court directed the verification process to be completed within six weeks and clarified that the appeals were not considered on merits, leaving that for the High Court. The decision reinforces the principle of ensuring fairness in public service examinations.
