On Monday, the Apex Court adjourned the hearing on a petition filed by a group of UPSC aspirants seeking an extra attempt in the civil service examinations for the year 2021, as a one-time measure owing to the Coronavirus pandemic.
A bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice AM Khanwilkar, asked advocate Atul Agarwal, Lawyer appearing for the petitioners, to serve a copy of the plea to the lawyer of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
The petition, filed by 24 UPSC aspirants, submitted that an extra attempt is pertinent because their preparation has been severely disrupted on account of the COVID-19 situation & also because they will become age-barred in 2021.
