Allahabad HC Orders UPPSC to Accept Late Postal Application After Timely Dispatch
The Allahabad High Court ruled that a candidate who applies online within the deadline and dispatches the hard copy of the application by a permitted postal method cannot be excluded from the selection process if the postal delivery is delayed. Justice Manju Rani Chauhan directed the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission to accept the petitioner’s hard copy by October 16 and consider her candidature for recruitment in the Medical Education Department. The delay was attributed to postal office closures during the BRICS Summit.
