Justice Banerjee: You have similar criteria in other states of this country

Adv Chirag Sharma: plea see the law laid down by this very court

Senior Advocate NK Mody reads the impugned rules in question

Justice Banerjee: Why have you moved the vacation bench?

Senior Adv Mody: 2nd January is the last date

Justice Bose: from when did you know this?

Mody: earlier in December

Justice Banerjee: how did you come up with a petition under Article 32 in this case

Adv: where should I go? The last date in January 2nd, I may be permitted to submit the online application

Advocate Sharma: It has been held by this court that HC does not have jurisdiction in this case and its only the Supreme Court which can entertain this. SC has held that even fresh law graduates can appear for judicial services.

SC: Petitioner has challenged a notification of 2020 inviting application for appointment of civil judge junior division in AP State Judicial Services. Question is on eligibility requirement of 3 years as a practicing advocate. 2007 rules are under challenge in this plea

#SupremeCourt: There can be no kind of urgency to entertain this petition in vacations. Let the plea be listed for hearing on the date of reopening. Notice be issued in the meanwhile.

Matter to be listed on January 5. Notice issued.
