SEC., U.P.S.C. vs S. KRISHNA CHAITANYA

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 noted that the respondent had submitted his application through a courier service, which confirmed delivery to UPSC. The Court emphasized the importance of acknowledging receipt of application forms and held that the respondent should be allowed to take the examination if found qualified, thus reinforcing the principles of fair administrative action under Article 14 of the Constitution.
