Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Himachal Pradesh Judicial Service Rules, 2004 and the Himachal Pradesh Judicial Service (Syllabus and Allocation of Marks) Regulations, 2005 do not provide for revaluation of answer sheets. The Court upheld the High Court's order directing the Commission to appoint the respondent after revaluation, but noted that subsequent revaluation by an eminent professor resulted in a lower score. The Court emphasized adherence to the established rules regarding eligibility and evaluation criteria, ultimately dismissing the appeal by the Commission.
