Order of The Tribunal

Shri Manish Mukherjee, RD, SSC (NR), Shri Satish T, CoE, SSC, Mr. R G
Singh, Director, SSC and Shri Ashish Chaudhry, US, SSC are present in
Court today on behalf of the SSC as per order dated 26.03.2025.

2. Learned counsel for the respondents, at the outset, very candidly admitted
that the final answer key of the Combined Graduate Level Examination
(CGLE) -2024, Tier – II was published on 18.03.2025, whereas the final
result was published on 12.03.2025.

3. Learned counsel for the respondents and the officers relying on the
counter affidavit explained that this procedure of releasing the final answer
key after the declaration of the final result has been followed by them both
in the Tier I and Tier II of the CGLE-2024 examination. They submit that
the tentative answer key for the Tier – I was published on the website in
October 2024, subsequent to that the final result was published on
05.12.2024 and the final answer key was published on 19.12.2024.

4. He therefore submits that the applicants have no ground in challenging


the examination process after participating and being successful in one part
of the selection process wherein the same process was followed and they
had submitted to the same.

5. On the other hand, counsel appearing on behalf of the applicants seeks


some time to study the counter affidavit proposed to be filed today by the
respondents.

6. On merits he submits that the procedure which is adopted by the


respondents is not in consonance with the scheme of examination, more
specifically with Para 13.3 of the advertisement.

7. Further, the applicants raised the issue of normalization and grant of


bonus marks. They rely on the three Judge Bench decision of the Apex
Court in Guru Nanak Dev University v. Saumil Garg and Others [2005
(13) SCC 749] to say that the Apex Court has frowned upon such a
procedure wherein, marks/bonus marks are given to all candidates if they
have of have not attempted the said wrong questions. He submits that in
such a situation only the candidate who have attempted the wrong question
should be given the benefit of the marks.

8. Be that as it may, learned counsel for the applicant is granted a week’s


time to go through the counter affidavit and file a rejoinder, if any.

9. Further, it is made clear that in light of the order of the Hon’ble High
Court of Delhi in WP (C) No. 4210/2025 vide its order dated 03.04.2025,
any appointment(s) made pursuant to the result that was declared on
12/13.03.2025 shall be subject to the outcome of this OA.

10. List for final hearing under the same category on 05.05.2025 at 2:30
PM.
