Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the selection process for the posts of District & Session Judges (Grade-II) in Andhra Pradesh, governed by the Andhra Pradesh State Higher Judicial Service Rules, 1958. The Court held that while the Rules prescribe qualifications, the High Court has the authority to determine the selection procedure, which was appropriately followed in this case. The Court upheld the method of selection involving a written examination and interview, affirming the validity of the merit lists prepared based on aggregate marks.
