He furthermore said that 43 of the 51 subjects of CSS exam were not in Urdu. 

In his remarks, the chief justice of Lahore high court said that the aspirants complete their graduation in English so how can they be expected to take CSS exams in Urdu.

In February, the court ordered the commission to hold CSS exams 2018 in Urdu. Justice Atir Mahmood passed this order on the request of Advocate Saifur Rehman who had applied for CSS exams 2017 and objected that the FPSC advertisement was silent about the language in which the CSS exams will be conducted.

He requested the court to order FPSC to hold the exams in Urdu language as ordered by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in 2015.

However, the judge rejected his request to conduct the current CSS exams in Urdu this year because of the paucity of time.

The counsel of FPSC told the court that arrangements were being made for transfer from English to Urdu as well as committee had been set up for the suggestions in this regard.

He said that this matter had also been taken up along with HEC (Higher Education Commission).
