Hi Satish,
You do not give the reason for the interview. Therefore I cannot give specific advice.
However, in general terms the following should help your friend prepare for a successful interview:
1) Ensure you have all relevant documents that you might need. If in doubt take the documents anyway, better that they are not required rather than not having them.
2) Arrive early and speak to the clerk or court staff and ask how the Judge(s) like to be addressed. The court staff will not approach you, you must approach them. If you do not get the opportunity to speak to the staff, then address the Judge as Your Honor.
3) Speak to the Judge only when you are spoken to, this shows respect.
4) Always use a polite tone and reserved body language. Do not wave your hands about. Do not use any phases that criticize the Judge or any other official. Do not use words that can be interpreted as cursing or threatening. Maintain your composure, if you start to get upset, angry or lose your temper, ask the Judge for a brief recess. Take a few minutes to gather your emotions outside the court. Remember a Judge can hold you in contempt, meaning they can give you a fine or even put you in jail for speaking disrespectfully. However, even if they do not then your testimony will be tarnished.
5) No matter what happens, wait until the Judge is finished talking before you speak. The Judge will not tolerate you speaking over him (or anyone else) or interrupting.
6) Make eye contact with the Judge at all times, this tells him that you are paying attention to what he is saying.
7) When you speak, you should stand up and only sit down when you have finished, this shows respect and also lets the Judge know when you are done speaking. The Judge may direct you to keep seated while you are talking.
8) When you are totally finished speaking with nothing more to add or at the end of the interview thank the Judge for listening.
9) When you are not speaking, sit quietly and act respectful.
10) Do not do anything that might be seen as disrespectful, either to the Judge, or any one else in the room. Such as eye rolling, making comments or gestures.
I hope the above helps.

Dear Harsh
Wonderful suggestions !!!
I could not have done better !! You have hit in the dark, yet scored perfectly !!
In a situation, where not much material information has been disclosed; your suggestions are all relevant and extra-ordinary.
I especially liked these suggestion :
If there is an interruption during the interview, while you are speaking; then let the Judge take his own time to deal with the matter or the person. Wait respectfully, keep quiet and calm, till it is over and then continue after taking permission.
Warm regards.

Now it's clear, it is for a job in a Court !
In addition to what they advised add these also -
1.Carry your originals with two sets of Xerox copies and recent passport size photos, one or two sheets of fresh papers, a pen and pencil.
2. Either don't carry a mobile phone or when carried ensure it's switched off.
3. Wear neat clean clothes, buttoned up, polished chappels or shoes. Sit errect, don't rest on your arms on the desk, be attentive to what they are talking to you.
4. When directed to enter, if the door is closed tap the door gently and open and ask for their permission whether you can enter. After entering calmly, quitely walk upto the seat and stand till you are asked to sit.
4. Don't ever panic. Reply only when asked otherwise clearly understand what they are addressing you. If you don't understand fully about the question put forth before you expecting an answer, ask them to repeat with an 'excuse me, if you don't mind could you repeat the question ?'. If the question asked is in English reply also in English,if it is in vernacular reply also in the same language. By chance you don't know either of these languages, apologise for the same and seek their permission to answer in whatever language you are comfortable with.
5. If possible rehearse with your friends who got interview experience.
6. Be genuine and truthful. Answer briefly and when you have no answer say frankly 'sorry sirs I don't know the answer'. Don't ever try to bluff or to mislead them.
7. When finished Stand up quitely, 'Say thank you very much', looking at all there in the panel' and walk back without a murmur.
If possible get some knowledge what typeof tasks you have to do if appointed, prepare well on GK, judicial systems in the country etc.
All the best to both of you.
