The Supreme Court on Tuesday set aside a Madhya Pradesh High Court ruling which made three-year legal practice mandatory to be eligible for the civil judge’s post. A bench of Justices P S Narasimha and Atul S Chandurkar allowed the appeal filed by Madhya Pradesh High Court challenging the ruling of its division bench. Advocate Ashwani Kumar Dubey, appearing for the high court, argued that a re-exam was “unconstitutional, impractical” and would flood gates of litigation. The top court last year stayed the high court order stalling recruitment for the post of civil judges carried out without the mandatory requirement of three years of practice.
