The Supreme Court of India stayed all ongoing and upcoming State judicial service examinations pending review of the controversial three-year legal practice requirement for entry-level judges, while hearing proceedings in Bhumika Trust v. Union of India mentioned urgently by petitioner Jayant Singh Yadav.
The Supreme Court allowed a serving Uttarakhand judicial officer to appear in the Himachal Pradesh Judicial Services examination, overturning an unexplained denial by the High Court. Justices BV Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan quashed the rejection, reinforcing standards in recruitment.
