Authority: High Court of Uttarakhand at Nainital
Order Date: 21 September 2026
Case Overview
- Parties: Petitioner Dinesh Singh; Respondent Uttarakhand Public Service Commission.
- Petition seeks a writ of mandamus directing the Commission to consider his application for the post of Lecturer (Civics) under the hearing‑impaired disabled category, based on an advertisement dated 30‑12‑2025.
- Petitioner alleges that the online application could not be submitted under the Disabled category due to a technical problem and that his form was not processed.
- Respondent contends that the hearing‑impaired disability was not available for the Civics post as per the requisition sent by the State Government, and that the petitioner himself ticked “No” in the column for the Disabled category, making any amendment impermissible.
Final Outcome
- The Court held that the petitioner cannot be permitted to amend his application at this belated stage and confirmed that the hearing‑impaired disability was not listed for the Civics vacancy.
- Consequently, the writ petition is dismissed in limine; no interference is warranted.
