SSC Supreme Court Case Complete Hearing Details dated 10th January 2019.

Matter was listed in Court number 03 as item number 01. Hearing started at around 11:40.

➡️Prashant Bhushan Sir started the argument by quoting order of previous hearing that CBI was asked to submit status report and Case Diary.

CBI Advocate responded to it by saying that we have submitted 3 copies of Status Report in sealed Cover and we have also brought Case diary in the Court for reference.

Then Sealed Status report was opened before the Court.

➡️Then Prashant Bhushan Sir tried to raise the issue of malpractices in CGL and CHSL Exam again, but Judge interrupted him and said that we had acknowledged all these things in previous hearings.

Hon'ble Justice SA Bobde said that in previous hearing we had clearly asked the government to clear their stand today and accept failure of the system in Court and to conduct Re-exam by NTA and take the Credit.

ASG Tushar Mehta was not present today. So some junior advocate appeared from Governments side.

Then Adv of govt pleaded for 3 days time so that they can take some decision.

➡️Then V. Giri Sir intervened and started repeating all his previous arguments like genuine candidates will suffer, loss of time etc. Then Justice SA Bobde asked V. Giri why he was taking such stand despite knowing that exam was tainted.

Justice SA Bobde clearly said “We will not allow anyone to get benefited through this tainted result. We will not allow tainted results to be declared”.

➡️Then V. Giri Sir suggested that the beneficiaries should be named and excluded from the result list.

Justice SA Bobde:- There is no such Mechanism to catch all the beneficiaries and asked Mr. V. Giri if he knew any such Mechanism which can Pinpoint each and every Candidate.

Then Mr. V. Giri started explaining about how the number of clicks or log file can be used to catch all the beneficiaries of Remote Access.

Judge stopped him in between and said:- We are unable to understand whatever you are saying. We are not IT Experts. We (Court) will give Judgement based on whatever we understand. CBI is investigating this matter and we should ask them whether they can pin-point each and every Candidate and confidently say that these are the Candidates who have used unfair means and these are the candidates who have not.

To which CBI Advocate started playing with words and said that we have already submitted Case Diary and we have named around 12 people in the FIR.

Then Justice SA Bobde interrupted him and asked “Only 12 people are involved..??”

CBI Advocate:- “NO, We have named some unknown people too and have named some more in Status Report also.”

Then Justice Deepak Gupta for the first time asked CBI Advocate “We are just asking whether you can Confidently say that only these are the people who got benifited from this tainted exam.”

CBI Advocate:- “ NO, We can't. Investigation is still ON and will take some time to conclude.

➡️Then Prashant Bhushan Sir argued about NTA and said that after the end of contract with Sify, SSC has selected another private vendor named TCS. There are several allegations on TCS too.

Then Judge advised him not to be so pessimistic and said that no organisation can be 100% full proof. He said that as per his knowledge TCS and NTA are two best options available.

Then Prashant Bhushan Sir accepted that no organisation can be totally foolproof but we can minimize chances of irregularities, to which Judge agreed and said that we are working on the same.

➡️Then Prashant Bhushan Sir started explaining in detail about the Modus Operandi of Remote Access. How these private vendor assign labs, and how remote access softwares like Teamviewer is used to solve Candidates Question Paper from Remote areas. He said that the Computers on which exam is conducted can't have internet connection i.e. they should be isolated. But with the help of lab owners and Private Vendor these Computers are given internet connection for use of these types of Softwares.

Prashant Bhushan Sir further said “This type of Paper leakage is not only in the case of SSC, this is the condition of every recruitment & entrance exams. Youth of this Country feels Cheated and has lost their faith in this System and thinks that they can't secure a job if they don't have huge amount of money to pay to these Job Racketeers. A small committee should be formed which can curb the loopholes and various irregularities of this existing system, which is also mentioned in our main Prayer.”

➡️Judge agreed on all points of Prashant Bhushan Sir and said “Yes, we can form a 3 membered Committee which will include IT Experts also.”

Justice SA Bobde suggested two names (Nandan Nilekani and Vijay Bhatkar) of his own and asked Prashant Bhushan Sir to suggest 3rd name. Then Prashant Bhushan Sir asked for some time and said that he will suggest the name in next hearing.

(Prashant Bhushan Sir argued for at least 10 minutes).

➡️Then Mr. V. Giri again pleaded Justice SA Bobde to consider his points and said that he wants to give some suggestions.

Then Justice SA Bobde said that doors are open for everyone, Go ahead and consult each other and arrive at some conclusion.

➡️Then Judge gave Next Date of Hearing on Next Thursday i.e. 17th January 2019.
