Bhanu Pratap vs State Of Haryana & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the appointment of Subordinate Judges under the Haryana Civil Services [Judicial Branch] Examination, specifically interpreting Rule 8 of the Haryana Civil Services (Judicial Branch) Rules. The Court held that the appellant's argument for rounding off his aggregate marks of 49.8% to 50% was not valid, as the rules explicitly required a minimum of 50% to qualify. Consequently, the Court upheld the decisions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, affirming the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition and appeal.
