SHC seeks CCE exam record

Petitioner argues that the final allocation of marks was made on the basis of nepotism, favouritism

KARACHI: The Sindh High Court directed the Sindh Public Service Commission to submit the complete record pertaining to the commission's combined competitive examination (CCE) of 2018. A two-member bench comprising Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui and Justice Kausar Sultana was hearing the petition against CCE results.

The petitioner, Ayub Panhwar, maintained that there were massive irregularities in the way the 2018 CCE exams were conducted. According to Panhwar, the candidates were not issued mark sheets for the written part of the examination, in violation of the Supreme Court's orders. He maintained that the candidates who secured good marks in the written exam were failed during the interviews. The petitioner argued that the final allocations were made on the basis of nepotism and favouritism.

Commercial use

The same bench restricted the commercial use of Junagadh House while hearing a petition pertaining to the distribution of the Nawab of Junagarh State's family property.

Petitioner Nawab Alamgir Khanji maintained that according to law, Junagarh House cannot be used for commercial activities. He claimed that films, dramas and wedding shoots are held at the House.

'Kidnapping' case

Meanwhile, another bench directed the West DIG to constitute a new investigation team in the case pertaining to a missing girl, Marvi.

The investigation officer (IO) of the case told the court that the girl eloped to Attock of her own will and is now married. He argued that the petitioner should accompany him to visit her.

The petitioner, Marvi's father, however, claimed that the IO is the one who kidnapped his daughter. He refused to travel to Attock, arguing that the family would not accompany the man who was both the alleged kidnapper and the IO of the case.

Marvi was allegedly abducted from Saeedabad in 2014 by Laeq Dinno and his sister.
