    Case Summary: WP(C)/395/2026 Court Decision: The High Court of Manipur dismissed the writ petition filed by 15 candidates challenging a recruitment examination conducted by the Manipur Public Service Commission. The court found the petition failed on admission grounds. Key Reasoning: The candidates alleged procedural irregularities during the written exam on 15.03.2026 (unsealed question booklets, missing signatures), but deliberately waited until after results were published and interviews were scheduled (06.06.2026) before filing the petition. The court deemed this an "eleventh hour" attempt to derail recruitment after participating in the exam without raising concerns immediately. Citing *Madan Lal v. State of J&K*, the court held that unsuccessful candidates cannot subsequently challenge a properly conducted recruitment process merely due to unfavorable results. The court also noted the applicable rules remained unchanged since 2020 and dismissed both the main petition and the miscellaneous case filed therewith. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
