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.
Submissions before the Supreme Court of India show diverse views on the three-year practice rule. Many universities and legal experts argue it fails to improve judicial competence and instead blocks talented graduates from entering the judiciary, strengthening calls for reconsideration or abolition.
