The petitioners alleged that rampant corruption took place in the commission during the time the exams for the PSC-J were held.
They demanded cancellation of the results and also asked for an investigation into alleged inconsistencies in the exam.
State Advocate General Ajit Kumar Singh said action cannot be taken on the basis of the petition and added the arrest of the examination controller did not provide any ground to question the authenticity of the exam.
The bench refused to interfere in the matter citing a lack of evidence.
