The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) on Friday informed the Madras high court that the state government has given sanction to prosecute government servants who are suspects in the Group-I services exam scam.
Counsel for TNPSC made the submission before a division bench of Justice R Subbiah and Justice R Pongiappan on a plea moved by Swapna, a transsexual candidate, alleging irregularities in the recruitment in 2015. The DMK has moved another plea seeking CBI probe into the allegations.
Recording the same, the bench directed the authorities to file their response to the plea moved by the DMK and adjourned the hearing.
Representing the DMK, senior counsel P Wilson said the scam was orchestrated by those in the highest level of the TNPSC in recruitment to 2016-17 Group-I services. The investigation officer was changed three times due to the pressure exerted by high level ministers, he added. Further, jurisdiction of state police over the TNPSC is questionable, he said, pressing for a CBI probe.
