Civil Judge Recruitment: Supreme Court Stays MP HC Order To Exclude Candidates Not Meeting 3-Year Practice Or 70% LLB Mark Criteria

The Supreme Court stayed the Madhya Pradesh High Court’s order to exclude candidates from civil judge recruitment who did not meet the criteria of three years of practice or 70% marks in LLB. The decision to stay the order was based on the argument that such criteria could unfairly exclude competent candidates. The Supreme Court’s intervention highlights the need for balanced and inclusive recruitment policies that do not impose overly stringent requirements. This ruling aims to ensure that the selection process for judicial positions remains fair and accessible to a broader pool of qualified candidates.
