IHC CSS Exam Dispute: FPSC Chairman Summoned
The hearing tomorrow will focus on the FPSC's decision to conduct new exams without announcing the results of the previous exams, and the impact it has on over 3,000 candidates. The court will review the matter and consider the petitioners' request to postpone the exams and provide a fair opportunity to all candidates.
The Islamabad High Court has summoned the Chairman of the Federal Public Service Commission to appear in court regarding a petition to halt the new Central Superior Services exams before announcing the results, as candidates argue that the delay impacts their ability to prepare.
The petitioners, including Hamza Javed, claim that the FPSC's decision to conduct a new CSS exam despite the existing result not being announced affects over 3,000 candidates. They argue that the commission made this decision without hearing the candidates, and that the difficult MPT exam led to over 10,000 failures, disproportionately affecting candidates from underserved regions.
The FPSC had uploaded admission certificates on February 4 and announced a new exam duty roster on February 3, sparking concerns among candidates. The court will review the matter after the Chairman's appearance tomorrow at 10:30 AM. The petitioners are requesting the FPSC to postpone the exams and provide a 15-day window to analyze those who failed the MPT.
The Islamabad High Court initially refrained from suspending the exam schedule but referred the matter to FPSC for reconsideration in light of judicial orders. The Chairman's appearance in court tomorrow is expected to shed more light on the FPSC's decision and the concerns raised by the candidates.
The outcome of the hearing will be crucial for the candidates who are awaiting the results of the previous exams and are uncertain about their future. The court's decision will determine whether the FPSC will reconsider its decision and provide a fair opportunity to all candidates to prepare for the exams.
