Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's decision to allow the writ petition filed by Akashdeep Morya, challenging the denial of his appointment to the Civil Judges’ cadre. The court found that the High Court correctly determined that the notification for applications did not require candidates to disclose involvement in criminal cases, and thus, the denial of appointment based on such involvement was unjustified. The court emphasized the importance of adhering to the prescribed criteria for selection and the need for transparency in the recruitment process.
