The Court directed to weed out all the ineligible candidates and issuing fresh call letter to the candidates who would be eligible as per new rules and inviting the new candidates for the Main Examination and till that time the authorities were restrained from proceeding further with the selection process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In the instant matter, an advertisement was issued calling applications from eligible Law Graduates under Amended Recruitment Rules. The Supreme Court, vide interim order dated 15-12-2023, allowed all Law Graduates to appear in Preliminary Examination under unamended rules, subject to outcome of pending litigation. The Supreme Court had permitted all Law Graduates to appear in the preliminary examination subject to the judgment of the High Court. On 10-03-2024 the result of Preliminary Examination was declared, and 926 candidates qualified. Later the vires of the amended recruitment rules was upheld by the High Court vide order dated 07-05-2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The petitioners filed the present review petition challenging the impugned order dated 07-05-2024 and contended that they are eligible under the Amended Recruitment Rules but were excluded from the Main Examination because they did not meet the cut-off marks in the Preliminary Examination. It was argued that if ineligible candidates (under the Amended Rules) were excluded from the Preliminary stage, the cut-off marks would have been lower, enabling their participation in the Main Examination. It was further argued that the candidates who were ineligible as per the new rules could be ineligible and yet be appointed as Civil Judge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">On the other hand, the respondent submitted that the entire selection process took place as per the orders of the Supreme court and the High Court but at the current stage it is too late to change the entire result. It was argued that the Main Examination has been conducted and the rescheduling would adversely impact the candidates who were not even made party to the present petition. The respondent also contended that the present review petition attempts to re-argue the case on merits beyond review jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court observed that the co-ordinate bench had overlooked the fact that the cutoff marks can be changed after the ineligible candidates are taken out of the list and this reduction of the cutoff marks would make several other candidates to be eligible for Main Examination. It was also observed that the coordinate bench did not take into consideration that the whole process was subjected to the outcome of writ petition challenging the vires of the amendment rules.<\/p>\n<p style=\"\">The Court stated that the holding of Main Examination cannot come into way of weeding out ineligible candidates and if the 1:10 ratio of the seats to the screened-in candidates is followed, the same could make many more candidates eligible for the Main Examination. The Court relied on <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Anupal Singh<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">State of U.P.<\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/u72ZBm30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2020) 2 SCC 173<\/a>, where it was observed that the justiciable right is created only when an order of appointment is issued and not after clearing any stage of the examination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; margin-left: 36pt; font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;To ensure purity and administration of justice, the least that is required is to prevent any ineligible candidate to secure appointment on the Post of Civil Judge (Entry Level).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Court asserted that the exclusion of ineligible candidates at the Preliminary stage is necessary to ensure only eligible candidates proceed through the recruitment process. The Court held that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;the order under review suffers from palpable error which needs to be corrected by invoking review jurisdiction.&#8221;<\/span> The Court allowed the Review petition, reviewed and recalled the co-ordinate bench&#8217;s order dated 07-05-2024 and directed to<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<li>\n<p>Exclude ineligible
