1. Having unsuccessfully pleaded against the validity of the Manipur Civil Services Combined Competitive (Preliminary) Examination, 2012 conducted by the Manipur Public Service Commission (for short hereinafter referred to as the Commission), a preparatory segment of the process for recruitment to various posts encompassed therein, the writ petitioners seek redress against the judgment and order dated 05.01.2012 rendered in WP (C) No. 751 of 2010 (Imphal Bench). By the decision impugned, the relief of annulment of the aforementioned examination was declined, though, incidental directions in response to the cavil of incorrect/wrong evaluation of a few answers to the questions had been issued. We have heard Mr. P.K. Goswami, Senior Advocate for the appellants, Mr. H.N.K. Singh, Senior Advocate for the Manipur Public Service Commission (Imphal) and the learned Government Advocate, Manipur for Respondent No. 2.

2. The issues raised, demand an abridged version of the pleaded facts to provide the backdrop of the debate. The writ appellants (inter-changeably also referred to as the appellants/writ petitioners) along with others had responded to the advertisement No.2
