Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Delhi High Court's decision to require a minimum score in both the written examination and the interview for the appointment of District Judges is lawful. The Court held that the criteria for selection, including the minimum marks for the interview, were established prior to the selection process and were publicly disclosed, thus the petitioners could not challenge them post-selection. The petitions filed under Article 32 were dismissed as lacking merit, affirming the High Court's authority to set such benchmarks.
