HEMANI MALHOTRA vs HIGH COURT OF DELHI

The Supreme Court, while adjudicating Writ Petition (Civil) No. 491 of 2007 under Article 32, directed the High Court of Delhi to amend the notice regarding the selection process for the Delhi Higher Judicial Service. The Court emphasized that the selection should be based on a combined merit list derived from the written examination and interview marks, without imposing a cutoff. The Court held that the lack of transparency in declaring written examination results violated the principles of fair selection and due process.
