Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal, which directed the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to declare the result of the respondent's Civil Services Examination application. The Court found that the respondent had submitted his application through a courier service, which was confirmed by an acknowledgment from the courier. The Court emphasized the importance of ensuring fair opportunity in public examinations, thereby reinforcing the principle of natural justice. The appeal by UPSC was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's order.
