DHEERAJ MOR vs HONBLE HIGH COURT OF DELHI — MA 1249/2026

CASE SUMMARY: MA 001249/2026 (Dheeraj Mor v. High Court of Delhi) The Supreme Court disposed of Dheeraj Mor's miscellaneous application on May 22, 2026, which challenged the applicability of a recent five-judge Constitution Bench judgment on District Judge appointments. The Court clarified that the new law establishing eligibility criteria (seven years combined experience, minimum age 35) applies prospectively from October 9, 2025, with an exception protecting completed selection processes and appointments made before that date. The Court rejected Mor's claim for deemed seniority based on incomplete selection processes and directed all High Courts to review individual judicial officers' cases in accordance with the Constitution Bench precedent.
