Sujasha Mukherji vs The Hon'Ble High Court Of Calcutta, Thr. ...

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the impugned judgment, holding that the moderation of marks in the recruitment examination for District Judge was improperly applied. The Court emphasized that the moderation process was not part of the examination rules, distinguishing this case from the precedent set in Sanjay Singh v. U.P. Public Service Commission (2007) 3 SCC 720. The Court found that the appellant, who was the top scorer in the written test, was unjustly disqualified from the interview stage due to the unnotified moderation, violating principles of fairness and transparency in recruitment.
