RACHNA vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition seeking an additional attempt for candidates who had exhausted their attempts in the Civil Services Examination 2020. The petitioners argued that the denial of an extra attempt violated their fundamental rights under Articles 14, 19, 29, and 21 of the Constitution. The court ultimately dismissed the petition, stating that the decision to allow additional attempts lies within the discretion of the examination authorities and does not constitute a violation of constitutional rights.
