Supreme Court Dismisses Rajasthan HC's Plea Against Judicial Service Appointment Of Candidate After FIRs Were Closed

The Supreme Court dismissed a plea against a Rajasthan High Court decision allowing a candidate to be appointed to the judicial service despite FIRs being filed against them. The case involved concerns over the candidate’s eligibility due to criminal charges. The Rajasthan High Court had ruled that the candidate was still eligible, as the FIRs were later closed. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's ruling, emphasizing that the closure of the FIRs rendered the candidate’s appointment valid. This decision highlights the Court’s stance on ensuring due process is followed, even when criminal charges are involved, and provides clarity on the qualifications necessary for judicial appointments.
