<h1>Supreme Court Upholds Railway Exam Retake for Fairness</h1> The Supreme Court upheld the railway authorities' decision to conduct a fresh written examination for selected candidates from Centre No. 115 (Katihar) ... - Issues involved: Railway recruitment process, unfair means in examination, cancellation of selection, rules of natural justice.Summary:The case involved a dispute regarding the cancellation of selection and empanelment of candidates due to unfair means adopted during a railway recruitment examination at Centre No. 115 (Katihar). The Railway Recruitment Board directed selected candidates to sit for a fresh written examination based on findings of large-scale copying and leakage of question papers at the center. The Central Administrative Tribunal quashed this decision, leading to an appeal before the Supreme Court.The railway authorities conducted an inquiry following a complaint of unfair means, which revealed significant discrepancies in pass percentages at Centre No. 115 compared to other centers in Katihar. The inquiry report highlighted instances of identical incorrect answers by candidates, indicating possible cheating and leakage of exam materials. Based on these findings, the railway authorities decided to conduct a fresh written examination for 35 candidates from Centre No. 115.The Tribunal set aside the railway authorities' decision, citing lack of reasons and opportunity for the empanelled candidates before cancellation. However, the Supreme Court disagreed, emphasizing the importance of ensuring fairness in the selection process. The Court upheld the railway authorities' actions, stating that the rules of natural justice must be applied based on the specific circumstances of each case. In this instance, the Court found no violation of natural justice as the decision to re-examine selected candidates was justified to maintain the integrity of the recruitment process.Ultimately, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal, overturned the Tribunal's judgment, and dismissed the respondents' application challenging the railway authorities' decision.
