31 May, Kathmandu. Only 12 have passed the written test for the selection of 42 district judges through open competition.
Out of the 203 people who participated in the written examination conducted by the Public Service Commission, only 12 passed. Out of the 21 seats which are restricted to judicial service employees, only 4 have passed the written test.
Out of 12 seats allocated for open competition, 7 candidates have passed. There are 2 seats for tribals and one has passed. No one has passed the women, Madhesi, Dalit and disabled quota.
Those who passed the written exam are Anjanraj Sapkota, Kamalkant Joshi, Chandramani Chapagain, Tilak Karki, Narayan Sapkota, Nitij Rai, Basantraj Joshi and Maniram Gyawali.
Since very less candidates than the allotted seats have passed the written test, it is certain that they will be selected through the interview as well.
The remaining posts of District Judges, which could not be filled through open competition, will be filled by the Judicial Council from government employees.
In August last year, the Public Service Commission conducted the district judge examination. In the examination for 29 seats at that time Only Parasmani Pokharel passed were
In the remaining seats that could not be filled, employees of the judicial service were appointed on the basis of seniority. During that time, the officials of the judicial council were criticized for the seniority and order of precedence being broken.
At that time, the officials of the council were strongly criticized for making the employees who failed in the examination as judges.
Law Minister Dhanraj Gurung to Public Advocate Ramchandra Sharma who has been appointed Election Officer of his constituency Recommendation to judge by ranking It was criticized for doing so.
In the competition of district judge, the employees of the judicial service have always been outstanding. Although the competition was opened for legal professionals, a very limited number of legal professionals became district judges during this period.
A few weeks ago, the National Conference of Legal Practitioners demanded that only they be appointed in the quota of legal practitioners for the vacant post of District Judge.
The conference called for the development of an examination system based on issues such as decision-making ability, identification of controversial issues in the case, knowledge of the law, judgment writing, and the need to improve the district judge’s examination system.
Law professor and senior advocate Purnaman Shakya in an interview with Online News three weeks ago commented that the district judge’s examination system is not suitable for legal professionals.
‘The district judge’s examination system is more suitable for those who have passed the public service examination. Those who remember more, those who can write faster, he is seen to be successful’, he said, ‘the exam was supposed to test the ability required to be a judge. Lawyers cannot take an examination like the Public Service Commission.
