The issue relates to a writ petition filed by Grade II constable S. Arunachalam, who had applied for the post of Sub Inspector of Police (Finger Print) and sat for the written examination. He filed a writ petition early this year alleging that he was not awarded marks though he had given the right answer to a particular question. Since TNUSRB claimed that his answer was wrong, the judge insisted on an expert opinion. An opinion provided by one D. Murthi, Professor, Department of Mathematics, IIT-Madras, on March 1, was submitted in the court and the writ petition was dismissed on March 13 . Wondering how those two individuals were connected with TNUSRB and why their services were engaged to obtain an expert opinion, the judge directed the Member Secretary of the board to file a detailed affidavit.
