DJS exam results: Justice Reddi submits report, finds it fair- 4-Mar-2016
New Delhi: A former Supreme Court judge has "prima facie" found to be fair the evaluation of answer sheets of unsuccessful candidates in Delhi Judicial Services (DJS) examination, 2014, the apex court said today after he submitted his report to it.
Former judge Justice P V Reddi today submitted his report in a sealed cover to the Supreme Court on the issue.
After perusing the report, a bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra and Shiva Kirti Singh said "it is interim and it has been concluded after going through the answer sheets of the unsuccessful candidates that prima facie the evaluation seems to be fair."
The apex court clarified that the answer sheets of the successful candidates were not examined.
Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the petitioner Centre For Public Interest Litigation (CPIL), said they want to go through the report as it has not been provided to them to make further submissions in the matter.
The bench, however, refused to give the copy of the report to the petitioner but said they can peruse the same from the court master. The court posted the matter for further hearing on March 10.
Earlier, on November 2, the bench had suggested to have a former apex court judge for rational re-evaluation of all the answer sheets of the DJS examinations held in 2014.
A total of 659 candidates out of 9033, had qualified for the mains examination, of which 15 were selected for appointment after interview.
The petitions allege arbitrariness in the evaluation of the answer sheets of the examinees of DJS 2014.
The court had also made it clear that the appointment of already selected 15 candidates as judges would not be "touched".
CPIL had sought a direction to quash the result of the mains exam of the Delhi Judicial Service, 2014 declared on May one.
