Confidence B — core facts citable to court or official records; some primary documents not yet on file.

Leak suspicions and multiple FIRs followed the 14 May 2023 RO/EO exams. During document verification in August 2024, officials found shortlisted candidates who lacked basic knowledge of the subjects. On 25 October 2024 the commission cancelled both exams, stating the papers had been leaked, and fixed a re-examination for 23 March 2025 — seventeen months after the original sitting.
