  • | Saturday | 11th February, 2017

The counsel of the BPSC requested the court to allow them to take consent from the chairman of the commission for the same.

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.
