              Mumbai: The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) 
              today told the Bombay High Court that it has set up an experts' 
              committee to look into the rule which says that a candidate who 
              has written the civil services examination papers in English, has 
              to also give the interview in English. 
               
              The High Court was hearing a petition filed by IAS- aspirant 
              Chittaranjan Kumar, who choose English for the written part of the 
              2008 examinations, but wanted to give the interview in Hindi. 
               
              Advocate Rui Rodrigues, appearing for UPSC, told the division 
              bench of Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice S J Vazifdar today 
              that the committee would review the rule, and submit its 
              recommendations within three months. 
               
              The matter will now be heard on June 23.
