Summary:
The counsel of the BPSC requested the court to allow them to take consent from the chairman of the commission for the same. The single bench initially asked them to wait for the order of the division bench and later allowed them to appear in the test following withdrawal of the LPA by the commission. However, the chairman apparently asked the counsel to withdraw the LPA itself.Meanwhile, ten more candidates approached the single bench of Justice Ravi Ranjan to allow them to appear for the PT. However, the BPSC filed a Letter Patents Appeal (LPA) challenging the same and hearing was scheduled to be held on Friday considering the urgency of the case.The petitioners had pleaded before the court that their admit cards could not be issued from the website of the BPSC owing to technical snag and the commission was not allowing them to appear for the PT without it. The petition filed by the aggrieved students before the court on February 3 stated that their forms could not be submitted on the last date (December 12, 2016) due to slow server of the BSPC.The division bench, headed by acting Chief Justice Hemant Gupta on Friday asked the BPSC to demonstrate its online application system, following which the court asked the commission to allow the aggrieved candidates to file their applications afresh in two hours..
