It also said the checked answer scripts will be made available under RTI as photocopies and not just for one time inspection.
To make the selection process more transparent for the appointment of Judicial officers for the trial courts in the national capital, the Supreme Court of India on Tuesday issued a flew of guidelines.
It also said the checked answer scripts will be made available under RTI as photocopies and not just for one time inspection.
Accepting the suggestions given by the Petitioner NGO – Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL) That OMR (Optical mark recognition) sheets must be filled in pen and not pencil, in the results, the names of the candidates must also be mentioned, the Apex Court asked the Delhi High Court to implement them.
A Bench headed by Justice Dipak Misra said that students must have "intrinsic faith" in the present examination system as it is the hallmark of a "civilised society" and passed the order to improve the exam system in the future and prevent allegations of favouritism.
The court had earlier, ordered re-evaluation of answer sheets of the 2014 Delhi Judicial Services (DJS) exam that has disclosed that at least 12 more candidates are eligible to qualify for the exam.
It was mired in controversy after at least 65 sitting judicial officers flunked the test, while the children of some sitting Delhi High Court judges cleared it.
On March 4 a former judge of the Apex Court Justice P V Reddy had submitted a report after examining the answer papers of those who did not clear the 2014 DJS (Mains) Exam.
Though 12 more candidates were found to be eligible, he had however concluded that there was nothing majorly unfair about the valuation.
A petition was filed by CPIL alleged that there were several irregularities and discrepancies in the evaluation and kin of several sitting judges of the Delhi High Court were favoured.
Out of 659 candidates, who had qualified in preliminary and taken up the main examination, only 15 persons were selected for appointment after the interview against nearly 80 advertised vacancies.
Earlier, the High Court Registry had apprised the apex court that it has found eleven candidates, who were initially unsuccessful in 2014 Delhi Judicial Services examination, suitable for appointment as lower court judges after re-evaluation.
