UPSC lacks power to disqualify after appointment, Khedkar tells HC
Probationary Indian Administrative Services officer Puja Khedkar on Wednesday told the Delhi high court that after her selection and appointment, the Union Public Service Commission lacks the power to disqualify her, and that the any action against her can be taken only by the Centre’s Department of Personnel and Training. UPSC lacks power to disqualify after appointment, Khedkar tells HC Refuting the allegations of fake documents and fraud levelled by UPSC against her, Khedkar, in a four-page reply, asserted that she neither changed her first name and surname from 2012 to 2022, nor manipulated or misrepresented her name to the commission. The reply, filed a day before the court is slated to hear the matter, added: “Furthermore, UPSC has verified the applicant’s identity through biometric data collected during the personality tests of 2019, 2021, and 2022 and all the documents were verified by the Commission during the personality test on 26.05. The reply was been filed by Khedkar in her petition seeking pre-arrest bail in the case registered against her for fraudulently availing attempts in the UPSC examination beyond the permissible limit by faking her identity.
