[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Supreme Court today (Tuesday, April 9) directed the CBI to file the case diary and the status report of the investigation in the 2017 SSC exam paper leak case.<\/p>\n
A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said, the case will be heard on April 11.<\/p>\n
The apex court on April 1 allowed the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) to declare the result of a re-examination of SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2017 held last year.<\/p>\n
The top court had said that lakhs of unemployed youths have suffered because someone from the organisation was corrupt.<\/p>\n
The examination papers of the SSC CGL 2017 were allegedly leaked, leading to huge protests from job seekers for several days.<\/p>\n
Amid the protests, the SSC had recommended a CBI probe into the allegations of paper leak.<\/p>\n
On August 31 last year, the apex court stayed the declaration of result of the SSC CGL and CHSL Examination, in which lakhs of students had appeared, saying it seemed that the entire test and the system was \u2018tainted\u2019.<\/p>\n
The apex court then favoured cancelling the 2017 SSC examination, and holding it afresh by the National Testing Agency or the CBSE \u2018in the interest of students\u2019.<\/p>\n
However, the Centre said that there was no need for re-examination of entire paper as the leak was \u2018extremely localised\u2019 and those behind the leaks were identified and action was taken.<\/p>\n
On January 10, the apex court favoured setting up of a three-member high-powered committee comprising Nandan Nilekani, co-founder of tech giant Infosys, and renowned computer scientist Vijay P Bhatkar to suggest reforms for conducting of competitive examinations.<\/p>\n
The SSC is a government body which conducts examinations to recruit staff at multiple levels in various ministries and departments.<\/p>\n
