[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.


@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.

@Thanos_ we could try space suit also it is much safer. 

Never thought that in 2020 we would be walking in space suits.

@mightyraju looking at the recent trends such as SC judgement or lack of judgment on migrants issue. Plus the anuradha judgement SC will most likely wont intervene in executive matters or give any binding orders.


I think that SC judgments have been based on some merit. It has intervened to order PermanentCommission in Army. As far as Anuradha Bhasin case was concerned, I believe the aspect of GOI not placing the orders before the bench was a big reason for SC's inconclusive order. As someone who is from the same region which was directly impacted by the order in this case,I believe there are certain security reasons for government for being reluctant on allowing 4 G network resumption(2G has resumed few months back though).

*Also I will suggest you to google a keyword- Ghulam Fai and Ved Bhasin(*Ved Bhasin-was father of Anuradha Bhasin)

Coming from the legal fraternity, I must respectfully disagree with you on that point.

Faith in the judiciary has been eroding rapidly in the past three years (At least) and there are an umpteen number of reasons for that. Just from memory, the Dipak Misra era, Gogoi era and now Bobde era have been extremely suspect. When we have judges like Arun Mishra openly praising the executive in speeches and calling the Prime Minister a visionary, one must say that there is ample material on record to at least suspect that there is active deference to the will of the executive as a matter of course. Of course my contemptuous writing may be pulled up in Court, but the Government can get away with not publishing orders or not placing them before the Court despite explicit directions to do so (actual contempt of court) in Bhasin's case.  The Sabarimala case has been posted for review completely and I say COMPLETELY contrary to rules of procedure on what constitutes a review. The CAA petitions were put off forever, especially when human rights violations were so evident. Same with Kashmir. It is not only the orders that matter, but the way in which the matter is handled. Procedure is also relevant in understanding whether justice was done. And sometimes, keeping quiet implies complicity. The Supreme Court is supposed to act as a check on the government, and it is hard to say that that is being done when Gogoi (I refuse to call him Justice after the farce that was made of the sexual harassment allegations) takes up a RS nomination within 6 months. 

It has been extremely difficult to understand the rationale in a number of recent Supreme Court judgements. Orders on merit are usually delayed until the point that matters become infructuous, and even when orders are eventually passed, one can often find borrowed flowery language and little substance. Known principles of law are often subverted.

@mightyraju With specific reference to Anuradha Bhasin's case, it wasn't a case where the order was inconclusive. It was a case where orders curtailing civil liberties were not published for months on end, they were not placed before the Court, and even when any material was presented, it was presented in a sealed cover. In this case, the Court might have chided the Government like a mother would her child, but by no means can one say that the Government was held to account.  Even in the final judgement passed, the judges go into all sorts of lengthy foreign jurisprudence to arrive at already settled principles on the law of proportionality, and even then, find that fundamental rights were violated but fail to provide a remedy. It found that FRs have been violated but left it for the executive to remedy it instead of issuing a writ as it should in the normal case. That is akin to allowing the violator to fashion the remedy to his own violation in the manner he wants to. That is nothing but deference to executive.

Ms Nidhi Taneja, journalist, who has raised several issues of students/aspirants in the past few months, has tweeted for UPSC aspirants. I believe more people should put forward the demand of an additional attempt by giving one time relaxation as a special case. Kindly tweet/retweet/dm her about the issues we are facing.

Completely off topic !

Does anyone else struggle to study alone in their rooms and miss the library environment ?
I have seen my productivity dip manifold in the last couple of months. i mean i start early and its all good in the morning sessions. But as the day wears on, i start getting anxious and even panic at times. I never thought that not conversing with people could get to me. But i now realize how important those 5-10 minutes chit chats were in the lobbies of the library. I struggle to calm myself down and despite putting up a good fight through out the day ( ki mein smoke nahi karunga),  i eventually find myself smoking or popping nicotex pills. By evening, my anxiety levels know no bounds and I struggle to get some shut eye.

Very personal thing. but can anyone relate to this ?

Yes but I guess may be many want only 1 compensatory attempt without skipping this year's attempt.

Violation of right found but remedy left to fate, Sealed covers continue to proliferate.

@Tejas14 upsc has just 40 days to arrange/mobilize everything because after that i.e. 21 days before the exam it has to release admit cards with centres printed on them. 
My suggestion : Let upsc do what it has to and you go underground for next 40 days and study as hard as you can, come here on 15 September you will have the answer to your question.
