NDTV
UP Public Service Commission Results: The court observes that the results declared for preliminary examination without giving benefit of reservation to ex-armymen are vitiated and quashed.
The Allahabad High Court has cancelled the results of PCS (Preliminary) Examination 2021 and directed the UP Public Service Commission to issue fresh results after giving the benefit of a 5 per cent reservation to ex-servicemen. Justice Sangeeta Chandra passed the order on Tuesday while hearing a petition filed by four former army personnel.
"The results declared for preliminary examination without giving benefit of reservation to ex-armymen are vitiated and quashed. Consequently, the second respondent is directed to recalibrate the result of the examination and give benefit of reservation to ex-army personnel on Group B and Group C posts," the court observed.
"After publication of preliminary examination results within one month, admit cards be issued for the main written examination accordingly and results thereof be declared giving 5% reservation on Group B posts as well to ex-army personnel," it said.
With above observations, Justice Chandra allowed the petition filed by four Junior Commissioned Officers (retired from the army after completing the required number of years of service) praying for a direction to be issued to the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) to implement 5 per cent reservation for ex-servicemen in the ongoing selection process for Combined State Upper Subordinate Services (PCS) Examination 2021 and Assistant Conservator of Forest/Range Forest Officer Services Examination 2021.
