“The examinations are conducted in a completely fair manner with no scope for bias, manipulation, or external influence. The selection and recruitment of individual candidates are made strictly as per merit and under rules irrespective of their religion, region, language etc.”

“Every candidate is treated equally, and the process is governed by robust safeguards that leave no scope for bias, manipulation, or external influence. The evaluation process is conducted at the highest possible standards of confidentiality and security. It is designed to be completely impenetrable, ensuring that the evaluator cannot, at any point, ascertain the identity of the candidate whose answer sheet is being evaluated, thus ensuring a fool-proof process.”

“It is a matter of serious concern that only 13 out of 124 candidates from Kashmir have been shortlisted for the viva voce stage of the Civil Services (Judicial) Mains Examination, while the remaining 111 candidates belong to the Jammu division.”

“The candidates from the Valley who have been dropped have rightly alleged serious irregularities and a lack of transparency in the examination results. Given the stark regional imbalance reflected in the results, these concerns cannot be dismissed and deserve fair and impartial investigation.”
