JUDGEMENT

(Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) Date : 24-07-2024 The grievance projected is of the appellant not being called for the interview after the written examination of 60 th to 62 nd Combined Competitive Civil Services Examination held by the Bihar Public Service Commission (for brevity, BPSC). The admitted case is that the appellant was a BC Patna High Court L.P.A No.18 of 2022 dt.24-07-2024 category candidate, and the cut-off mark was 584 for the BC category, to be called for the interview. The appellant secured only 582 marks. The appellant’s contention is that for question no. 11, 26 marks awarded was later reduced to 24 marks and since there were two parts of question no. 11, while adding the marks for the first part and the second part, the marks earlier awarded of 26 was reduced to 24 without an initial. Insofar as the question no. 7 is concerned, the marks awarded of 7 was reduced to 6. If the appellant gets the 3 marks, then he would definitely get the cut-off mark, is the contention.

2. The learned Single Judge after looking at the decisions cited, especially relied on Prabhat Kumar v. The State of Bihar & Ors. in C.W.J.C. No. 1137
