The Patna High Court has cleared the deck for appointment of 1,510 Sub-Inspectors of police in Bihar disposing of the petition that challenged the recruitment process alleging anomalies in the result of the written examination.
A bench of Justice Navin Sinha said that since the SSC proposed to publish the rectified list of successful candidates after re-evaluating answer-sheet on the basis of correct model answer, the case stood disposed of.
The Commission in an affidavit had earlier acknowledged the errors in the model answer and had given an undertaking that a fresh list of 1,510 successful candidates would be prepared after re-evaluation.
The petition was filed by Dayashanker Prasad and a few unsuccessful candidates in the written examination, the result of which was published in May 2008.
