Posting of 30 Judges of Punjab Dist Courts stayed by SC

The Supreme Court stayed till further orders the postings of 30 judges of Punjab subordinate courts due to bungling in marking of the answer sheets. Additional Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium told a bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justices P Sathasivam and J M Panchal that a three-judge committee of the High Court by a majority decision has found that the selection of the candidates do not inspire confidence. One canditate has got 36 marks while another has got zero for an identical answer. The apex court also issued notices to the respondent and made it clear that those who have already been given postings and are in job shall not be disturbed.
