Supreme Court refuses extension of surrender time to three persons for their derogatory remarks against sitting Judges<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe plea also stated that UPSC herein is estopped from denying the Petitioners right to be considered for Personality Test, especially when they fulfil the required educational qualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plea urged that the cancellation of candidature of students at this stage would render the whole year of the Petitioners a waste, for no fault of theirs. That the Petitioners had bonafide applied to sit for the UPSC examination and were selected for Civil Services Mains examination on the basis of their hard work and perseverance. Denying them the right to be considered for the Personality Test only on the ground that they did not submit the proof of educational qualification by November 11, 2020, would be a grave injustice to them as the delay is occasioned by circumstances beyond their control.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Counter-Affidavit has been filed by UPSC contending that “conditions of eligibility cannot be relaxed for certain individuals on different grounds” as the same would be contrary to the tenets of Article 14 and Article 16. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
