The court of Justice Nikhil Kariel said that interference was required in the plea filed by the candidate and issued notice to the GPSC returnable on January 12.
The Gujarat High Court has pulled up the state public service commission for "absolute gender insensitivity" after it turned down the request of a candidate to either postpone her interview or provide an alternative, as she was not in a position to appear for the same just two days after delivering a baby.
The court of Justice Nikhil Kariel said that interference was required in the plea filed by the candidate and issued notice to the GPSC returnable on January 12.
It also directed the commission not to declare the results of the interview for the post of assistant manager (finance and accounts) Class II for which the woman had applied.
