Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of amendments to the Madhya Pradesh Higher Judicial Services rules regarding the seniority of District Judges. The court quashed the amendment made in 2005 and the order determining seniority, emphasizing the need for adherence to the provisional gradation list from 2007. The court also dealt with the retrospective application of the 2017 Rules, ultimately ruling in favor of the petitioners' claims for seniority based on direct recruitment.
