Overview
- The Madhya Pradesh High Court vacated its interim stay Thursday, allowing the state public service commission to move forward with the SSE-2025 main examination after roughly a year of delay.
- Petitions before the court challenge the commission's procedures on three core points: non-disclosure of category-wise preliminary cut-off marks, alleged failure to allocate meritorious reserved-category candidates to unreserved posts, and rules that bar candidates who received age or other relaxations from migrating to the unreserved category.
- MPPSC handed category-wise cut-offs to the court in a sealed cover but did not provide the point-by-point answers petitioners demanded, and petitioners said the replies remained incomplete during hearings.
- About 4,000 candidates who cleared the preliminary test have been waiting to sit the main exam and can now expect the commission to set a schedule; the High Court has listed further hearings on the substantive legal issues for July 17, 2026.
- The court's order resolves the immediate administrative logjam but leaves open the possibility that a later ruling could alter allocations, results or require remedial steps, so scheduled exams and any issued results may still face legal challenges.
