The Islamabad High Court (IHC) summoned on Monday the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) chairman in a petition seeking to stay the upcoming CSS exam.

IHC’s Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani heard the case filed by citizens Hamza Javed and others through Ali Raza Advocate.

At the outset of the hearing, Justice Kayani remarked that the court could suspend the exam schedule on the previous hearing but it sent the matter to FPSC to review the matter.

The petitioners adopted the stance that the FPSC uploaded the admission certificates on February 4, without hearing the candidates. The commission issued a duty roster on February 3 and announced a new exam.

The lawyer said that more than three thousand candidates including his clients were being affected due to the decision of the commission.

He said that the previous exam result is still pending while the commission announced new exams of CSS. It was necessary to announce the previous result before the announcement of the next exam’s schedule, he said. The court summoned Chairman FPSC tomorrow (Tuesday) in person and adjourned the case.
