MP High Court Allows Online Applications for Over-Aged Candidates
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has made a decision about a job application process.
The state's Public Service Commission had canceled a food safety officer exam.
Because of this, some people were too old to apply when the job was offered again.
The court said these older applicants can still apply online.
The court's decision is helping people who were upset by the cancellation.
The reason for the cancellation was a problem with the job requirements.
Madhya Pradesh High Court allows over-aged candidates to apply online.
