Judgement copy
contained 42 pages-hence, we are attaching only final conclusion of judgement.
""It is however to
be noticed that the second committee constituted by the Insurance Institute of
India, Mumbai, demonstrated the illegality and injustice that would result in
the event only candidates who answered the incorrect/ambiguous questions were
awarded marks. That being so, it would mean that those officers who were
ignorant of the right answers to these incorrect questions and answered them
wrongly would be rewarded, while those who realized that the answers were
incorrect and moved on to other questions but answered them wrongly, would be
punished. This cannot be the purport of a fair process of selection. The
remedial measure adopted by the National Insurance Academy,
Pune, therefore fell short of addressing this aspect of the matter and caused injustice
to such officers. The decision cited is therefore of no avail to the learned
counsel.
It
is stated that the Insurance Companies have already effected promotions
pursuant to the written tests held on 18.12.2011. However, the promotions so
effected were subject to further orders in these writ petitions. Therefore, the
exercise as indicated supra would have to be undertaken to
identify the deserving officers who were left out owing to award of marks only
to such officers who answered the incorrect/ambiguous questions.
In
so far as Writ Petition No.4623 of 2012 is concerned, the counter of the New
India Assurance Company Limited reflects that the petitioner fell short as he
secured 49.33% in the written examination as opposed to the requisite 50%. However,
the petitioner admittedly attempted Section-7, i.e., HR including Legal, in the
question paper set for Scale-I Officers, which had three incorrect questions,
but he attempted only two out of the three wrong questions - Questions 187 and
200. However, as per the statement of incorrect/ambiguous questions furnished
to this Court, there was one other incorrect question in Sectin-7 of the
question paper set for Scale-I Officers i.e. Question No.190. As this Court
holds that officers who attempted the tainted sections should be awarded marks
for all the wrong questions therein, irrespective of whether or not they
attempted all the wrong questions, the petitioner would be entitled to one more
mark for Question No.190 in Section-7. With this additional mark, he would
cross the 50% cut-off mark and would be entitled to be considered in the
further process for promotion to the next higher scale. This writ petition is
therefore allowed directing the New India Assurance Company Limited to consider
the case of the petitioner in the further promotional process and decide
whether he is eligible for promotion to the next higher scale. This exercise
shall be completed expeditiously and in any event, not later than two (2)
months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
W.P.Nos.3340
and 4575 of 2012 are disposed of with a direction to the respondents to award
marks for the incorrect/ ambiguous questions to all the officers of Scales I,
II, III and IV who attempted the tainted sections, namely, Sections-1 and 7.
After awarding such marks in the manner indicated above, the respondents shall
verify whether such officers surpassed the 50% cut-off mark and include those
who were successful for further consideration in the promotional process. This
exercise shall be completed expeditiously and in any event, not later than two
(2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. WPMP Nos.4177,
4178 and 13337 of 2012, WVMP Nos.676 and 710 of 2012 in W.P.No.3340 of 2012;
WPMP Nos.5844, 5845, 13338 and 25860 of 2012, WVMP Nos.795 and 796 of 2012 in
W.P.No.4575 of 2012; and WPMP No.5907 of 2012 in W.P.No.4623 of 2012, shall
stand disposed of in the light of this final order. No order as to costs.""
