Patna, Jan 10 (NationPress) In a recent turn of events related to the controversy involving alleged irregularities in the 70th Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) Preliminary Examination, the Jan Suraaj Party has officially filed a writ petition in the Patna High Court on Thursday, requesting a new examination.
The party is urging for the cancellation of the current examination and the organization of a new, fair, and transparent re-examination process.
Senior advocate Pranav Kumar, representing the Jan Suraaj Party, filed the writ petition under Article 226 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
This legal action follows a previous petition lodged by a student group, which similarly calls for the cancellation of the BPSC examination and the need for a re-examination.
Prashant Kishor, the President of the Jan Suraaj Party, has been on a hunger strike since January 2, backing the demands of the BPSC candidates.
On January 6, Kishor was detained from the protest site at Gandhi Maidan in Patna but was released on bail later that evening.
Even after being hospitalized due to declining health, Kishor persists with his hunger strike, further amplifying the call for justice for the BPSC candidates.
The students participating in the protests have raised allegations of extensive irregularities and manipulation during the 70th BPSC preliminary examination, which took place on December 13, igniting widespread protests throughout Bihar.
A significant number of candidates continue to rally against the BPSC in Gardanibagh, Patna, demanding the cancellation of the examination.
Both student groups and political figures, including the Jan Suraaj Party, are insisting on actions to guarantee transparency in the examination process.
This matter has escalated to the Supreme Court, which advised petitioners to approach the Patna High Court for further proceedings.
The fate of the situation now lies with the Patna High Court, which is set to rule on the petitions submitted by both the student group and the Jan Suraaj Party.
The stakes, both legal and political, are rising as the calls for accountability in the examination process gain traction.
