The court had directed a stay order on the SSC results for recruitment exams after the alleged leak. The matter came up before a bench comprising Justice SA Bobde and Justice NV Ramana. Last month, the top court had asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to file a detailed status report on the investigation into the case. On 14 March, 2018, the CBI had registered a preliminary inquiry into the alleged irregularities in the test. On 42 February, 2018, the commission had issued a notice saying that due to “technical reasons”, the exams held on 21 February would be re-conducted on 9 March. With inputs from ANI
