UPSC IAS 2023 Extra Attempt Plea Dismissed by Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has denied relief to UPSC aspirants who asked for an extra attempt to clear the exam. The Apex Court was hearing a plea by aspirants who exhausted their last chance in the exam during COVID-19.

“Let govt as matter of policy take a call. But if you want judicial review, we have to draw a line,” the Supreme Court said, according to Live Law. Judge Rastogi J, said that "when the court has pronounced a judgement one cannot keep filing petitions and that the court would have to draw a line somewhere."

He further mentioned that their order will not come in the way of the government allowing a compensatory attempt as a matter of policy but when you want a judicial scrutiny we will have to draw a line somewhere to which the petitioner counsel said that the correct facts were not provided and to that the Judge said that there cannot be a review of that order.

UPSC aspirants have been requesting for another attempt for some time now. In December last year, they staged a protest in the Old Rajinder Nagar area in Delhi and claimed that aspirants of other recruitment exams like SSC and Agniveer were provided extra attempts due to COVID. The examination is conducted annually in three stages – preliminary, main and interview – to select personnel to Indian Administrative Service, Indian Foreign Service and Indian Police Service, among others.
