In the 2025 Prosecutor Officer Exam, one of the most crucial roles in the justice system, the shocking result speaks volumes: a general-category candidate with 71 marks was rejected, while an ST-category candidate with 0.33 marks got selected. If this is the standard for those who will argue in courts, india isn’t just compromising on merit—it’s putting justice itself on trial. Here’s why this is catastrophic:
1. From Hard Work to Heartbreak
Someone who slogged day and night, scoring 71, has been dumped. Meanwhile, someone who ticked one question correctly by accident—or worse, guessed—is now a prosecutor.
2. Justice by Luck, Not Logic
The very people responsible for upholding fairness in courts are being selected by a system that rewards chance over competence. This isn’t a reservation—it’s roulette.
3. Meritless Gatekeepers of Law
Prosecutors aren’t clerks or assistants. They decide who gets punished, who walks free. Imagine handing that power to someone who couldn’t even score 1 mark.
4. Faith in System? Already Cracked.
How will the public believe in justice when those upholding it enter through loopholes instead of capability? The system, meant to protect the weak, is now breeding incompetence.
5. The Real Casualty: Common People
When a murderer walks free or an innocent person is wrongly jailed, it won’t be because of “the law’s complexity”—it’ll be because the prosecutor wasn’t qualified in the first place.
6. From Reservation to Mockery
Reservations were meant to uplift, not insult. Handing life-and-death jobs to those scoring less than one mark doesn’t uplift communities—it ridicules them.
7. The Collapse of Accountability
When institutions pick incompetence in the name of representation, the outcome is the same: justice is delayed, denied, and destroyed.
👉 Bottom Line: A prosecutor with 0.33 marks isn’t just a bad candidate—it’s a death sentence for fairness. When merit doesn’t matter in roles that protect the law, the law will never protect the people.
