The ruling made on Monday said the applicants' names were unfairly removed from the list.

He ordered the Judicial Service commission to give all applicants a hearing.

The JSC had rejected some of the applications without giving a convincing explanation.

In the post of Chief Justice, applicants Andrew Udoto, Aaron Ringera, David Wambura, Justice Jackton Ojwang' Lucy Wanja and Prof Makau Mutua's names were rejected.

The case against the JSC was filed by Arnold Magina, Trusted Society of Human Rights Alliance and former Constitution of Kenya Review Commission chairman Prof Yash Pal Ghai.
