1. Must have been in the cadre of Senior Civil Judges at least for a period of three years after successful completion of officiating period: Provided that if there are no candidates available for selection, the High Court may, for reasons to be recorded in writing, relax the condition relating to minimum years of service.

Section 1

1. Must have been serving as Senior Civil Judge at least for a period of 1 year after successful completion of officiating period.

Section 1

1. Must have been in the cadre of Civil Judges for a period not less than 3 years after successful completion of probationary period.

Section 1

2. The examiner may assign numerical marks for each sub-question which may be totalled up and shown against each full question in numbers.

Section 2

3. The tabulator will then convert the numerical marks into grades in a seven point scale with corresponding grade values as follows:

Section 3

4. After converting the numerical marks of each question into the appropriate Grade according to the formula given in the first column above, the tabular will re-convert the Grades obtained for each question to the Grade value according to the value given in the third column above.

Section 4

5. Thus organised, the result of the written examination will be indicating only the cumulative evaluation Grade of the candidates which moderates the inevitable element of subjectivity in individual evaluation and brings in relative objectivity and fairness to a much higher degree. Of course, the tabulation record sheet can carry the numerical marks as well for reference and rechecking whenever needed. A proper computer programme can do all these operations in minutes.

Section 5

6. What happens if there are several successful candidates obtaining the same grade and the available positions are fewer in number? How do you rank then to determine who is to be given the job? Of course, this situation can develop with numerical marking also where persons with one mark or half a mark difference are given advantage. This is unfair given the fact that in actual practice this may happen because of the play of subjective elements on the part of the individual examiners. What is th

Section 6

7. At the end of each day's interview, the tabulator will convert the numerical marks assigned to each category into Grades and then to Grade values. This will then be totalled up and the Cumulative Grade Value Average of each candidate interviewed will be obtained.

Section 7

8. Thus a separate list of candidates interviewed and the Grades obtained in the viva voce will be readied which will naturally be far more fair and transparent with little scope for corrupt practices to creep in. Again, for ready reference, the result sheet may carry the numerical marks side by side with Grades.

Section 8

9. The final selection list will be readied by combining the Cumulative Grade Value obtained in the written examination and the viva voce examination.

Section 9

10. If the viva voce is rigorous and higher marks are given only to those who are outstanding in all categories of evaluation given in the proforma, the chances are very few will obtain higher Grades (like '0' or 'A') and their numbers may be just within the available vacancies. There may be some borderline cases where it is difficult to determine who is to be included and whom to be excluded. This dilemma may be resolved by a second interview between those candidates by the same board or altern
