The Supreme Court Today (March 18) rejected Puja Khedkar’s attempt to use both disability and general category benefits in the UPSC exam, extending her protection from arrest till April 15. Authorities allege she faked documents to gain extra attempts.
The UPSC has informed today the Delhi High Court that it will issue a formal order cancelling Puja Khedkar’s candidature within two days. Khedkar had challenged the cancellation, stating she only had a press release and could not approach the tribunal. The court granted her the liberty to challenge the cancellation before the appropriate forum.
