Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, while adjudicating on writ petitions filed under Article 32 of the Constitution, addressed the validity of the Delhi Judicial Service Examination, 2015. The Court held that the criteria for calling candidates for viva voce, specifically the requirement of obtaining 40% marks in each subject, was not arbitrary and upheld the examination results. The Court also emphasized the need for transparency in evaluation and the importance of adhering to the prescribed qualifying marks as per the Delhi Judicial Services Rules, 1970.
