The 2022 exam was announced in December. The preliminary exams were conducted in February 2023, followed by the mains examination in May. Subsequently, interviews were held, and the final results were declared in August 2023. Further, the marks scored by the candidates were made public in November 2023.
Dissatisfied with the marks awarded to him, petitioner Shravan Pandey filed a request under the Right to Information Act (RTI Act) in January 2024 seeking details of the distribution of marks in the six papers.
After he came to know that he had received only 47 out of 200 in the English paper, he prayed that his answer sheets be also shown to him.
When he went through the answer sheets, he found that they did not have his handwriting. He also discovered that the answers on the Hindi paper’s answer script were “scored off” in the final 3-4 pages. This prompted Pandey to approach the High Court.
