As per the case facts, two Delhi Judicial Service officers sought modification of existing Supreme Court orders related to judicial service conditions and recruitment. The reason for the appeal to ... the Supreme Court is to modify the eligibility criteria for limited departmental competitive examinations for District Judges. The question arose regarding the modification of previous Supreme Court orders concerning the recruitment process and qualifying service for District Judges, specifically pertaining to the percentage of cadre strength to be filled by limited departmental competitive examination and the required years of service. Finally, the Supreme Court modified its earlier directions for filling 10% of the District Judges' cadre strength via competitive examination. The new eligibility allows for either five years as Civil Judge (Junior Division) plus two years as Civil Judge (Senior Division), or ten years solely as Civil Judge (Junior Division), aiming for broader and more practical career progression within the judiciary.
