U.P.PUBLIC SERICE COMMISSION vs MANOJ KUMAR YADAV .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the results of the Backlog Examination, 2004 and the P.C.S. Examination, 2004, citing the arbitrary and irrational nature of the scaling method used for marking candidates, which was found to reduce actual marks unfairly. The Court reaffirmed the principles established in Sanjay Singh v. U.P. Public Service Commission (2007) 3 SCC 720, emphasizing that moderation is preferable to scaling in examinations. The Court directed the Appellant to declare the results afresh in accordance with the High Court's observations and the principles laid down in the earlier case.
