The Sindh High Court (SHC) has directed the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) chairperson to submit comments on a petition seeking to annul the Central Superior Se
rvices (CSS) 2019
examination. A two-judge bench, headed by Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, on Tuesday questioned why the
examin
ation was not held afresh if a paper got leaked. He directed the FPSC chairperson to furnish his reply by next hearing.
The petitioner’s counsel stated before the court that CSS 2019 exam was not held in a transparent manner as
it was marred by accusations of irregularities, including leaking of papers. He said an FIR of the paper leak was also lodged and the Federal Investig
ation Agency (FIA) confirmed during its investig
ation that a paper was leaked.
