SC refuses to stay BPSC main exam over alleged paper leak in Prelims

New Delhi, Apr 23 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to stay the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) main examination, scheduled for Friday, amid allegations of a paper leak during the Preliminary Examination held on December 13, 2024.
A bench comprising Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Manmohan dismissed a batch of petitions challenging the validity of the 70th Combined Competitive Preliminary Exam, which was conducted across nearly 900 centres for close to five lakh candidates.
Appearing for the petitioners, Senior Advocates Anjana Prakash and Colin Gonsalves argued that the preliminary exam was compromised, citing WhatsApp messages allegedly containing leaked questions and video clips showing announcements of answers over loudspeakers at certain centres.
