Supreme Court: While considering this special leave petition revolving around Chhattisgarh Civil Judge Examination, the 3-Judge Bench of B.R. Gavai, CJI., K. Vinod Chandran and N.V. Anjaria, JJ., directed the Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission (CPSC) to not insist upon the requirement of three years’ experience at the Bar for the candidates as the advertisement was issued and the selection process had commenced prior to the judgment of the Court in All Indian Judges Association v. Union of India, 2025 SCC Online SC 1184.
The Court further issued an ad-interim order directing Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission to permit such of the petitioners, who possess the requisite qualification, excluding the one provided under Clause 3(iv) (B) of Advertisement Number 04/2024/Exam dated 23-12-2024, i.e. enrollment as an advocate under the Advocates Act, 1961.
The Court however clarified that the appearance of the petitioners in the examination shall not create any equity in their favour.
