Deserved to be judged (5)
I believe the answer is:
rated
This clue is a double definition.
'deserved' is the first definition.
('rate' can be a synonym of 'deserve')
'be judged' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for rated that I've seen before include "Was worthy of" , "Scolded (archaic); assessed" , "esteemed" , "Censured" , "Scolded - valued" .)
