The petition termed the exclusion 'a clear case of discrimination and violation of fundamental right guaranteed under the Constitution'. The bench observed that the petitioner had forwarded 60 e-mails of such candidates to the SSC and directed the commission to look into the matter at the earliest. 'We request the SSC to look into grievances in these 60 e-mails. So far issue in petition, we will consider for future examinations. Larger matter is Likely to take time.
