THE Orissa High Court on Tuesday directed the Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC) to revise the result of two candidates who had appeared the written examination for recruitment of 105 homeopathic medical officers in the Group-B rank in December last year but failed to qualify.
Rajani Padhan and Rasmita Malik, both scheduled caste (SC) category candidates, had filed separate petitions challenging their failure to obtain the cut-off mark only by one mark owing to change of answer key.
OPSC had on December 7 last year made public the answer key for the objective questions but again released a revised answer key on a change in the opinion of experts on May 13 this year. Both Padhan and Malik claimed they would have qualified had the first answer key been followed. While making the claim on the basis of their marksheets provided by the OPSC, the petition also pointed out error in a question.
