Judgment

A eliminated fro.m the process of selection those who secured less than the minimum in the interview. The minimum marks for interview ·had never been adopted by the High Court earlier for selection of District & Sessions Judges, (Grade II). Therefore, introduction of the B requirement of minimum marks for interview, after the entire selection process (consisting of written examination and interview) was completed, would amount to changing the rules of the game after the game was played which is clearly impermissible. [paras 21, 22, 24] [1046-E, F, G; 1047-A, E, F, G; 1048-B, C, D, E]
