Justice Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi has asked the Commission to release a new merit list within 4 weeks.
Welcoming the decision of the High Court, the petitioner said, "the Commission had declared the declared the result without following the pass mark criteria. The result of the qualifying paper was added to the merit list. The pass mark in the qualifying paper was 30."
