New Delhi, June 14 : The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) can now conduct main exams for different positions as the Supreme Court on Thursday allowed its appeal challenging Allahabad High Court order directing re-evaluation of the answer-sheets.

The high court had ordered the re-evaluation of the answer sheets of the candidates on the basis of the correct answer to the questions. The Supreme Court order on Thursday effectively ruled out the re-evaluation as was ordered by the high court.

A vacation bench of Justice Uday Umesh Lalit and Justice Deepak Gupta allowed the UPPSC plea. The preliminary examinations were held in 2017 and main exams were scheduled to be conducted on June 18.

Earlier, main exams were slated to be held on May 18 but because of the High Court order directing re-evaluation of the answer-sheet, the exams were re-scheduled for June 18.

Beed, Apr 13 (PTI): A 13-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by her stepfather in Maharashtra's Beed district, police said on Monday.

Based on a complaint, the police have registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act in connection with the incident, which occurred on April 9, an official said.

According to police, the teen's mother divorced her first husband nine years ago and married the accused, with whom she has a son.

On the afternoon of April 9, the accused allegedly sexually assaulted his stepdaughter while his wife was away and threatened her into silence, the official said.

He said that the assault came to light when the mother returned home and noticed a change in her daughter's behaviour and questioned her. The girl narrated the ordeal, following which a complaint was lodged at the Kaij police station.
