In Brief
The Supreme Court disposed of appeals challenging the Manipur High Court's order for re-verification of civil services selection exam answer scripts. Appellants sought to limit re-verification to petitioners only; the Court agreed to this narrower scope. Upon receiving the Committee's report indicating irregularities, the Court held that the verification process should not be disturbed. It directed the Committee to complete verification within six weeks and submit a report to the High Court for final adjudication on merits, without itself deciding the substantive issues raised in the appeals.
