Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of Sujasha Mukherji, setting aside the judgment of the Calcutta High Court. The Court found that the moderation of marks in the recruitment examination for District Judge was not properly notified and disqualified the appellant despite her being the top scorer in the written test. The Court emphasized that the moderation process was not part of the examination rules, thus violating the principles of fair recruitment as established in prior case law, specifically referencing the decision in Sanjay Singh v. U.P. Public Service Commission (2007) 3 SCC 720.
