Justice Reddy finds nothing wrong with evaluation of Delhi Judicial Service exam

Justice PV Reddy, who was appointed by the Supreme Court to re-examine the answer papers of those who had failed to qualify for the Delhi Judicial Service Exam (DJS), submitted a report to the Supreme Court today in a sealed cover..In his report, the former Supreme Court judge has stated that he did not find anything unfair in the evaluation. After a quick perusal of the report, Justice Shiva Kirti Singh remarked today that,.“He [Justice Reddy] has said that he evaluated 100 papers and that everything was absolutely fair.”.The matter pertains to the conduct of the 2014 Delhi Judicial Service Exam, where certain reservations about the exam and evaluation methods were expressed by advocate Prashant Bhushan in a letter to Delhi High Court Chief Justice G Rohini..Soon thereafter, Union Law Minister Sadananda Gowda wrote a letter to Justice Rohini and personally requested her to look into the allegations surrounding the exam..Later, petitions were filed in the Supreme Court alleging arbitrary valuation and selection in the DJS. During the hearing of the petitions, the Bench came up with the proposal to revaluate the answer sheets of those candidates who had cleared the preliminary exam..Subsequently, the apex court tasked retired judge PV Reddy with revaluating these papers within six weeks, starting from January 10..Today in court, Senior Advocate Sanjay Hegde and advocate Prashant Bhushan, who appeared for the petitioners, submitted that the matter be kept pending so that they can peruse the report..The Court obliged and posted the matter for March 10.
