Chandigarh, February 6

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has minced no words to say there was patent ambiguity in a question in the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT). The ruling by Justice GS Sandhawalia came on a petition filed by Arashjit Singh and other petitioners against the State of Punjab and the Punjab Public Service Commission.

In their petitions through counsel Yagyadeep and Vikas Chatrath, the petitioners had sought the quashing the answers to question numbers 10 and 31 in booklet series-A in Paper-II of CSAT.

Justice Sandhawalia asserted even the subject experts initially opted for “a”. But then crossed it out, made corrections and changed it to “d”. It was, as such, apparent the court’s opinion, the candidates' suggestion and initial choice of the experts were the same - option “a”. “In such circumstances, it is apparent that the benefit of question number 10 has to be given to the petitioners”.

He added: “However, this court is also restricting the benefit only to the petitioners, as none others had approached this.” Accordingly, the PPSC is directed to correct the result of the petitioners and give them the necessary benefit.
