Notice issued to SPSC in marks tampering case
Karachi: The Sindh High Court issued the provincial public service
commission a notice on Thursday in a petition alleging marks tampering by
it.
Petitioner Muhammad Saleem Shaikh submitted through Advocate Muhammad
Nawaz Shaikh that he applied for a post advertised by the Sindh Public Service
Commission from urban quota in 2003 and appeared in a written test and in a viva
voce conducted by it in 2004. The commission selected 77 candidates for the
posts of section officer, deputy district officer (revenue), assistant director
(labour) and assistant co-operatives registrar in grade 17, assistant food
controllers and labour officers in grade 16.
The list of successful
candidates did not mention the marks obtained by them.
Though the fee
paid by him and other candidates included charges for marks certificates, the
commission did not send them any certificates. He applied for a certificate on
payment of Rs250, according to which he secured 525 out of 900 marks in the
written test and 201 out of 250 in the viva voce. He claimed that having
received 726 out of 1150 marks, he was entitled to a job.
However, the
petitioner claimed, he came to know of serious irregularities that adversely
affected his selection prospects. The marks of one of the candidates in the
subject of Sindhi literature, for instance, were revised upwards from 91 to 143
out of 150 marks.
Among the selected candidates were sons of the then
SPSC chief, Muhammad Hassan Bhutto, services and general administration
department secretary Hashim Leghari and revenue secretary Abdul Ghaffar Soomro;
daughter of a special banking judge; and brother of additional chief secretary
Ghulam Sarwar Khero.
A division bench comprising Justices Khilji Arif
Hussain and Ghulam Dastgir A. Shahani issued the commission a notice for January
18, 2009.
The bench, meanwhile, disposed of a contempt plea moved by
Maula Bux Khatan, who said the court order for consideration of his case for
promotion to grade 21 had not been complied with by the provincial
government.
Assistant advocate-general Adnan Karim Memon produced a
notification saying that the petitioner had been promoted to the post of
provincial secretary in grade 21 along with Rasool Bux Phulphuto. Dawn

Law students' plight
Karachi: I am a law student at the Government Islamia Law College. I sat for the LLM
(previous) exams held by the University of Karachi. The university has recently
announced the results in which I, like most candidates from the college, was
declared failed in the paper of Comparative Studies of World Constitutions by a
narrow margin of two to five marks. Failing so many students in one particular
paper and that too by such a narrow margin is going to create immense
hardships.
It is really sad that on the one hand the daughter of the
chief justice is awarded marks in a secondary board exam unduly while on the
other, so many students are declared failed by a narrow margin. Samiullah from Karachi - The News
