Irked over the order passed by the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) over the OAS Examinations-2006, the Orissa Public Service Commission (OPSC) on Tuesday challenged the order in the Orissa High Court. The move followed the SAT's direction to the OPSC to conduct the OAS main examinations on May 27 after a gap of three months.
The OPSC informed the court that it has made all necessary steps to conduct the main examination on May 27 and if the examination is deferred, it would affect the aspirants; those have prepared to sit in the examinations. OPSC chairman Suchit Das and other office bears held a closed door meeting in Cuttack over the issue before knocking the doors of the judiciary.
While speaking to The Pioneer, OPSC special secretary DP Mohanty said, "We have filed a write petition before the High Court and it will be heard on May 23. The Commission has fielded two lawyers, B Das and Rajat Rath." Asked about the OPSC's preparedness for main examinations, Mohanty claimed that the Commission has taken all steps to conduct the examinations as per schedule. However, the legal wrangle between the SAT and the OPSC has put the future of OAS aspirants at stake, said some of the aspirants.Earlier, the SAT had directed the OPSC to recast the preliminary results afresh that was published earlier in 2008. An aspirant, Nibedita Das, and several other candidates had approached the SAT alleging that the OAS-2006 preliminary results were not published in accordance to the rules governing them.
