Supreme Court Allows Lawyers to Take Chhattisgarh Judiciary Exam
Some lawyers working for the government in Chhattisgarh weren't allowed to take a judge exam because they weren't registered as lawyers on a specific date.
They went to the Supreme Court, which said they could take the exam anyway.
This is because their jobs require them to pause their lawyer registration.
The court said this decision was interim, and their exam results wouldn't be guaranteed to be valid.
This ruling is linked to an earlier court decision about the requirements for becoming a judge.
Supreme Court permitted certain candidates to provisionally take the Chhattisgarh Judicial Service Exam.
The candidates included Public Prosecutors and Government Advocates.
They were initially denied admit cards.
The denial was due to a requirement of advocate enrollment on the advertisement date.
The court cited a previous ruling regarding minimum practice criteria.
