News India Live, Digital Desk: MP Civil Judge Eligibility: A big relief news has come from the Supreme Court for the youth dreaming of becoming a civil judge in Madhya Pradesh! The Supreme Court has canceled the decision of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, in which at least three years of advocacy experience was made mandatory for the lawyers for civil judge recruitment. With this decision of the Supreme Court, now all the youth law graduates and lawyers who do not have three years of experience.
If you are dreaming of becoming a civil judge in Madhya Pradesh and have completed legal studies, then a very good news has come from the Supreme Court for you. Recently, the Supreme Court has overturned a verdict of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, under which the lawyers were required to have active advocacy experience for at least three years for civil judge recruitment. Now this condition has been abolished, which will directly benefit thousands of young law graduates and junior lawyers who did not have three years of advocacy experience.
What was the matter and why the rules changed?
In fact, the Madhya Pradesh High Court had made an amendment to Judicial Services (Conditions of Recruitment and Services) Rules, 2023. Under this amendment, it was made necessary for the lawyers applying for the civil judge that they should have at least three years of active advocacy experience. Earlier this rule was not for those who wanted to go to judicial services after directly studying law. Many candidates and lawyers challenged it in the Supreme Court, describing it as arbitrary and unconstitutional. He said that this rule would exclude fresh law graduates and junior lawyers from the competition.
What did the Supreme Court say?
After hearing the case, the Supreme Court said that this amendment of the Madhya Pradesh High Court was “arbitrary experiment of unlimited power”. The Supreme Court clearly stated that such rules cannot be imposed only as an executive fiat. The court also stated that when the current rules already considered ‘lawyers qualified’ and there is no condition of three years of experience, it is not right to make a new rule. The Supreme Court believed that adding a new ‘fictional idea’ in the law, especially without any proper legislative basis, is not the right process. In this way, the Supreme Court, while rejecting the order of the High Court, has given relief to all the candidates who were upset due to this condition.
Who will get the benefit?
After this decision, now those candidates who have just completed their law studies in Madhya Pradesh Civil Judge Recruitment Examination will also get a chance to apply or who have experience of advocacy of less than three years. This decision has come as a great hope for many young lawyers who wish to make a career in judicial service. It is expected that now the recruitment process will move forward according to the old rules and more and more qualified candidates will try their luck.
