K. VINOD CHANDRAN, PARTHA SARTHY
Gopal Bihari – Appellant
Versus
State of Bihar – Respondent
K. Vinod Chandran, CJ.—A batch of four writ petitions were taken up peremptorily for hearing on 10.07.2024, only since the main examinations for selection to the post of District Judge (Entry Level) is scheduled on 14.07.2024. C.W.J.C. No. 10397 of 2024 which too raised identical issues was heard on 11.07.2024 and reserved for judgment. The matters are disposed off by this common judgment.
2. C.W.J.C. No.9746 of 2024 is filed by six candidates who have objected to question No.9 and the answers to questions Nos.48, 58 and 94. The learned Counsel for the petitioner also contended that with respect to the second petitioner, as per the OMR mark-sheet obtained yesterday which has been uploaded by the Registry of the High Court, her total marks would go above that which was prescribed as the cut-off mark in her category. In C.W.J.C. No.9829 of 2024, in addition to the objections raised on the question & answers as hereinabove noted, the learned Counsel also argued on the basis of the tabular column extracted in the writ petition; that even persons who obtained as less marks as 14 and 18 are qualified in the preliminary test and called for the final examination.
