In Brief
This case involved appellants challenging a High Court order directing re-verification of all answer scripts in a Manipur Civil Services selection process. The appellants argued the verification should be limited to those who directly filed petitions. The Supreme Court restricted the scope of re-verification to only the petitioners' answer sheets while allowing the inquiry process to continue given reported irregularities. The Court did not adjudicate the merits, instead directing the Committee to complete verification expeditiously within six weeks and letting the High Court decide substantive issues on the Committee's report.
