KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday temporarily stopped Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC) from holding exams, interviews and issuing job advertisements, ARY News reported.
Hearing a case pertaining to alleged irregularities and change in results of SPSC’s examination, the SHC circuit bench reprimanded the SPSC chairman when he failed to apprise the court about the policy for conducting the exam and the procedure for releasing results.
During the course of the proceeding, the judge asked the chairman why did they not public the SPSC exam results? A carbon copy of the answer sheet is handed over to each candidate so as he could evaluate his or her marks, the SPSC chairman replied.
On the occasion, the court ordered the SPSC to formulate a procedure to ensure transparency in the exam and presented it before the judiciary.
