Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Dec 8: In a major relief to KAS 2014 aspirants who have cleared mains, High Court today vacated the stay while dismissing the petitions with the observations that petitioners have no right to seek fresh examinations.
While dismissing bunch of petitions, Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar observed, “the petitioners have prayed for quashing the result notification bearing No.PSC/EX-15/47 dated 05.10.2015.  It is further prayed that respondents be directed to conduct the Combined Competitive Preliminary Examination 2014 afresh on the ground that key answers in respect of certain questions in different series have been changed when the earlier keys were correct answers”.
“They had attempted the questions and in the eyes of law cannot be said to be aggrieved persons and Writ of Certiorari cannot be issued in their favour”, High Court said, adding “what appears from the pleadings of the petition is that because of change of key answers, petitioners have taken a chance to get fresh examination conducted when in view of the facts they have no right in law to seek such relief from the Court”.
