Delhi High Court Dismisses PIL Seeking Postponement Of Delhi Judicial Services Preliminary Examination 2023

The Delhi High Court on Thursday dismissed a plea seeking postponement of the Delhi Judicial Services Preliminary Examination, 2023, which is scheduled to be held on December 17.

Refusing to postpone the examination date, a division bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Mini Pushkarna dismissed a public interest litigation moved by one Vishal Yadav.

The court observed that a similar writ petition has been dismissed by a coordinate bench recently.

“Keeping in view the aforesaid order (passed by the coordinate bench), the present PIL is dismissed,” the court said.

The plea sought postponement of DJS Prelims Examination 2023 as its date is clashing with the date of Combined Recruitment Test conducted by Union Public Service Commisssion (UPSC) for various law related posts.

On December 07, a division bench headed by Justice Yogesh Khanna dismissed a plea seeking similar relief, observing that where the examination has been postponed once, it is not feasible to postpone it again.

“The present petition has no merit. Accordingly, it is dismissed,” the coordinate bench had said.
