Summary The Supreme Court disposed of MD. Ainul Ansari's writ petition challenging his exclusion from the District Judge recruitment viva-voce after scoring 96.5 marks (below the 50% cut-off). The Court held that Rule 18 of the Jharkhand Superior Judicial Service Rules, 2001 permits the High Court to prescribe minimum qualifying marks before or after the main examination, and directed the petitioner to file a representation to the Jharkhand High Court's Registrar General, who must place it before the Chief Justice for reconsideration and communicate reasons within two weeks.
