Allahabad HC Orders UPPSC to Accept Late-Arriving Application Due to Postal Delay
The Allahabad High Court ruled that a candidate who applied online within the deadline and sent the hard copy of her application by post on time should not be excluded from the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission's recruitment process, despite the postal delay causing the documents to arrive a day late. The court directed UPPSC to accept her application by October 16 for a medical education department post. The delay was attributed to postal office closures during the BRICS Summit, and the court emphasized that postal submission was an approved mode of application.
