The judgment was passed on a plea filed by 46 unsuccessful candidates of the District Judges examination held in the State in 2015.
The plea highlighted that against 99 vacancies, only 9 candidates were declared successful and selected.
It informed the Court that after the written examination, 69 candidates were shortlisted for the interview and that out of them, 60 were given low marks despite having performed well in the written exam.
Accordingly, they sought a direction to Patna High Court to consider appointing them after relaxing minimum marks prescribed for the interview.
The plea also sought striking down of a provision of the Bihar Superior Judicial (Amendment) Rules 2013 on the ground that it was contrary to the recommendation of Justice KJ Shetty Commission.
