https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=312996 Rule 14 of the Delhi Judicial Service Rules, 1970 was construed as prescribing three separate eligibility conditions: citizenship, advocacy qualification and age. The court held that the age requirement in clause (c) could not be read into clause (b) as part of the educational qualification, because the wording of the rule did not support that construction. Reliance on punctuation in Entry 11A of List III was rejected since punctuation cannot displace the plain meaning of the constitutional and statutory text. On that reading, the petitioner did not meet the eligibility criteria and the writ petition was dismissed. en-us Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 18 Mar 2024 19:39:16 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=312996 Rule 14 of the Delhi Judicial Service Rules, 1970 was construed as prescribing three separate eligibility conditions: citizenship, advocacy qualification and age.
