The Supreme Court on Monday gave the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) one week to submit a compliance affidavit detailing its plan for providing screen-reader software and other accessibility measures for visually-impaired candidates in its examinations, reported the PTI.

The matter was heard by a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta. During the hearing, the counsel for UPSC said, "We are completely complying with it (directions). We just require a period of one week to place the compliance affidavit on record." The bench accepted the request and posted the matter for further hearing on February 23 as per PTI.
