Supreme Court on Friday stayed the declaration of results of Staff Selection
Commission (SSC) Examination 2017, saying prima facie the entire system
appeared to be tainted.

of results of Combined Graduate Level
Examination and Combined Higher Secondary Level Examination after perusing
a status report filed in a sealed cover by the CBI, which is investigating
allegations of corruption in SSC examinations.
CALLS
ENTIRE TEST TAINTED
■The
Supreme Court on Friday said it appeared from the first look that the entire
test was tainted
■It
observed that it cannot permit people to benefit from the "tainted"
2017 Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level and senior secondary
level examination and get into service
■Advocates
Prashant Bhushan and Govind Jee, appearing for petitioner Shantanu Kumar,
alleged that the CBI in its first status
report had itself admitted that the custodian of the examination paper had leaked the paper.
The Bench — which is seized of a PIL
highlighting corruption, leakage of question papers, use of remote
access software for solving papers and screen-sharing of candidates’ computer
terminal to unknown persons — said the status report spoke volumes about the
illegalities committed and the role of SIFY, its content head, students
involved. Remote sharing of the server had been admitted, it noted.
The petition demanded a court-monitored probe
and setting up of an expert panel to suggest systematic changes in SSC
examination system to plug the loopholes.
The SSC
conducts examinations for recruitment to various group B non-gazetted posts and
group C non-technical posts in the government. It also selects candidates
for group B gazetted posts of
assistant accounts officer and assistant audit officer for the Indian Audit and
Accounts Department. The CBI FIR alleged that among others, one SP Gupta, the
content head of SIFY, the vendor of SSC examination was involved in it.
In 2017, the SSC conducted an online exam for Combined Graduate Level Tier-I
examination in August. The candidate who made it to the cut-off list of Tier-I
exam appeared for online combined graduate level Tier-II Exam in February 2018.
