The Allahabad High Court on Thursday rejected a petition demanding a CBI inquiry into the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UP-PSC) Judicial Service recruitment exam, 2018.
A bench of Justices Pankaj Mittal and Saral Srivastava dismissed the petition filed by Anurag Tripathi and 141 others demanding the cancellation of the results of the PSC-J.
The petitioners alleged that rampant corruption took place in the commission during the time the exams for the PSC-J were held.

The bench refused to interfere in the matter citing a lack of evidence.
