The Delhi High Court has issued notice to the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) in connection with the Combined Graduate Level Examination (CGLE), 2024, taking note of the “scathing remarks” made by the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) regarding the Commission’s conduct.
The Court was hearing two connected writ petitions, W.P.(C) 8524/2025 and W.P.(C) 8525/2025, challenging alleged discrepancies in the final answer key and the overall selection process conducted by the SSC. While disposing of the abovesaid writ petition, it was observed that though it did not deem it proper to hold a detailed investigation into the final answer key published by the respondents, it was also supplemented that the petitioners were, prima facie, able to establish that there were certain discrepancies in one or two questions in the final answer key.
During the present hearing, counsel for the petitioners referred to Paragraphs 13 and 14 of the CAT’s order, arguing that the entire selection process should have been rather quashed.
The High Court granted four weeks to the respondents for filing their reply, with two additional weeks for the petitioners to file a rejoinder.
The matter will now be listed before the Roster Bench on July 28, 2025.
