On Tuesday, the Supreme Court regulated the capability criteria for court service and stated that fresh law graduates need at least 3 years of legal practice experience to appear for the exam. This verdict comes in connection with the case of the Association of Judges of all India.
“Graduates of fresh rights cannot appear in the trial of court services, the necessary at least 3 years of legal practice,” the Top Court said. The Supreme Court bench is chaired by the chief judge of India (CJI) BR Gavai, the Justices Ag Masih and issued a decision on May 20, which specifies the years of experience needed as a lawyer for joining the court service.
The Court of Justice said in the order: “We believe that the three -year minimum practice exam will appear for the civic judges’ examination (Junior Division Division),” he noted that the appointment of new rights in the judiciary caused many problems. However, this requirement will not apply to the ongoing judicial recruitment, the court clarified.
“Over the past 20 years, during which the recruitment of fresh rights graduates was appointed as court officers without a day of practice in the bar, there was no successful experience. Such fresh law graduates led to many problems,” said the bench, as the Living Act states.
The Court emphasized the importance of practical and ground experience and stated: “Candidates should be equipped to understand the complexity of the judge, and therefore we agree with most of the Supreme courts that a requirement to introduce a certain number of years of experience is necessary.”
Criteria for the competence for court services
Aspiring candidates will now require a certificate from a lawyer who has a minimum position of ten years, approved by a court official of that station to meet the required condition.
In particular, a certificate from a defense counsel, who has a minimum position of ten years, approved by a court official, will act as evidence in the event that the individual will be willing to enter into the court service at the Supreme Court or the High Court. In addition, experience as legal officials will also be considered in the age of 3 compulsory practice.
Since 2002, fresh rights graduates could apply for post-magistrate contributions. Several lawsuits were filed at the Supreme Court, trying to restore the minimum practice requirement after being set aside more than 20 years ago.
