The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the HC verdict that had scrapped the two rules incorporating a Law Ministry representative over the committee for recruiting its subordinate court staff terming those illegal and unconstitutional.
A four-member bench of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice SK Sinha, passed the order, vacating its stay on the operation of the HC judgment.
On November 1, 2010, the government through a gazette notification published the impugned two rules amending the recruitment of staff to the courts of District Judges, its subordinate courts and Divisional Special Judges Courts and courts of Judicial Magistracy and Metropolitan Magistracy.
Following a writ petition, the HC on November 16, last year set aside the two rules incorporating a representative from the Law Ministry over the committee for recruiting its subordinate court staff terming those unconstitutional.
