J. 17th February, 2006. 2 P.C. : This was an application by 26 Applicants to appear in Writ Petition as interested party seeking directions to be given to the Petitioner to prepare final merit list and fill in the vacant posts of Assistant/ Sales Tax Inspector /Police Sub Inspector from the Applicants and like candidates against whom there are no allegations of malpractices in M.P.S.C. Examination held in the year 1999. A reply has been filed on behalf of the M.P.S.C. setting out that the 26 persons are not connected in any manner with the malpractice and that the M.P.S.C. has no objection if they are made interested party as prayed by them. The main grievance of the Applicants is that their results have not been declared though they are not involved in the malpractice. Considering that and the affidavit filed by the M.P.S.C., we see no reason as to why their results should not be declared. We therefore direct the M.P.S.C. to declare their results after verifying the record. 3 Learned counsel also points out that there are others who are not involved in the malpractice whose results have not been declared. If such Applicants approach the M.P.S.C. by an application for declaring the results, the M.P.S.C. to consider the application and based on the records and material if it comes to the conclusion that they are not involved in the malpractice, then to declare the results of such other candidates also. With the above directions, the present application is disposed of. We, however, make it clear that the declaration of results and any subsequent orders would be subject to the order passed in the main Petition. The Application is disposed of accordingly.
