The Supreme Court of India is set to hear a crucial challenge against the 2024 Rajasthan Civil Judge Cadre Exam, highlighting concerns regarding the integrity and fairness of the selection process. The petitioners, aspiring judicial officers, argue that the examination's evaluation was marred by inconsistencies and arbitrary scoring, particularly in the English Essay paper. This alleged flaw, they assert, has resulted in an unfair assessment and has jeopardized their legitimate career aspirations.
The petitioners' concerns stem from the unexpectedly low marks awarded in the English Essay paper, ranging from 0 to 15, despite candidates demonstrating strong performance in other sections of the Main Examination. This incongruity has led to a situation where some candidates, despite strong overall performance, failed to meet the interview cut-off. The petition argues that the subjective nature of essay evaluation, combined with the absence of a minimum qualifying mark for language papers, has created a system prone to arbitrary results.
The petitioners are seeking intervention from the Supreme Court to ensure a fair and impartial re-evaluation of the English Essay papers. They are calling for the establishment of an independent expert committee to review the answer sheets and ensure that candidates are evaluated consistently and objectively. The petitioners contend that the flawed evaluation process undermines their fundamental right to equal opportunity and fair treatment, enshrined under Article 14 of the Indian Constitution. They emphasize the need for transparency and accountability in the recruitment process for the judiciary to maintain the integrity and credibility of the judicial system in Rajasthan.
