Delhi High Court:\u00a0<\/strong>A Division Bench of S. Muralidhar and Talwant Singh, JJ. allowed the petitioner –a law graduate — to appear for the Judge Advocate General (JAG) interview by rounding off his marks.<\/p>\n

A notification was published by the Indian Army calling upon law graduates to apply online for JAG after selection by Service Selection Board (SSB) through interview. The eligibility criterion was 55% marks in a recognised degree in law. The petitioner completed his B.A. LL.B scoring 54.95% marks. In view of the minimum eligibility criterion of 55%, the petitioner was unable to fill-up the online form. According to the petitioner, a difference of a mere 0.05% should not prevent him from applying for JAG.<\/p>\n

Pranay Jain and Ajay Singh, Advocates represented the petitioner. Per contra, the Union of In did was represented by Anil Soni, Central Government Standing Counsel.<\/p>\n

The High Court noted that the principle of “rounding off” has been recognised in law in a number of decisions. Reliance was placed on\u00a0State of U.P. v. Pawan Kumar Tiwari,\u00a0<\/em>(2005) 2 SCC 10<\/a> and\u00a0State of Punjab v. Asha Mehta,\u00a0<\/em>(1997) 11 SCC 410<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following the well-established principles, the High Court directed the respondents to treat the 54.95% marks secured by the petitioner in the LL.B, examination on the principle of rounding off as 55%, thus making him eligible to apply for the JAG Branch, Special Entry Scheme. It was further directed that within a period of 4 weeks, the respondents will either open an online portal to enable the petitioner to fill up the form by indicating the percentage of marks obtained by him as 55% or alternatively, the respondents will permit the petitioner to submit his application manually indicating the percentage of the marks obtained in the LL.B. degree as 55%. The writ petition was disposed of in the terms above.[Ajay Singh v. Union of India, 2019 SCC OnLine Del 9915<\/b><\/a>, decided on 27-08-2019]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
