50 percent number required to become adjj in Haryana, High Court verdict on general category

Haryana adj exam: General category candidates have suffered a setback for the appointment of Additional District Judge in Haryana. The Punjab and Haryana High Court has retained the ADJ selection criteria for general category candidates in Ritten and Oral Exams. The High Court on Thursday rejected the petition challenging the appointment of ADJ. The High Court has admitted that the petitioner, who failed to score the minimum marks already fixed, was disqualified for appointment. The court also canceled the petition to give grace number. The court said that such demand is legally unacceptable and is contrary to the constitutional principles of fairness and equality in public employment.

50 percent marks compulsory condition

The High Court has said that the privilege authority has the privilege to determine the terms of eligibility to ensure the selection of the highest qualification candidates for the judicial posts. A division bench of Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Sumit Goyal said that the need to get a minimum of 50 percent marks is not just a procedural formality nor is it a limit that can be ignored at judicial discretion. This is an essential condition for eligibility.

No reshuffle in eligibility conditions

The petitioner had demanded a discount of 50 percent qualification points criteria, which argued that there should be no fixed limit in the competitive selection process. The court dismissed the argument and said that the authority holds the privilege to determine eligibility conditions to ensure the selection of the highest capacity candidates for judicial posts. The court said that once the eligibility conditions are legally fixed, no individual candidate’s requirements can be reduced or no reshuffle can be made in them. Providing additional or grace marks in the field of public appointments will be against the principles of fairness and equality.

The bench, citing the order of the Supreme Court, said that no discount or grace points have been allowed in Haryana Superior Service Rules, 2007, which has made the petitioner’s request legally unacceptable. Government job There should be no appropriate relation for the declared objective of securing the statutory approval nor the qualified appointments for the exemption of Grace Number.
