casestatus.in Summary

Summary The Supreme Court dismissed appeals by five advocate-candidates who challenged their exclusion from a 2008 direct recruitment to the Punjab Superior Judicial Service. The court rejected all five grounds raised by appellants: (1) that a judge's elevation created an additional General category seat; (2) that two wrongfully-advertised Ex-Serviceman seats should go to General category; (3) that two Fast Track court judges' absorption should not have used advertised vacancies; (4) that an unfilled disability seat should revert to General category; and (5) that larger cadre strength allowed more recruitment. The court held candidates cannot challenge recruitment after appearing without objection, and that a decade-long judicial process made restoration impractical despite some administrative irregularities. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
