unable to get correct status code in AJAX Error handler

I am not able to get correct error code in the error handler of AJAX request. Everytime the error occurs, it returns me statusCode = 500. I tried to set it explicitly in my service as HttpContext.Current.Response.StatusCode = 403;, but still it gives me status = 500.

This is how my AJAX request looks like:

$.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "Services/someSvc.asmx/SomeMethod",
            cache: true,
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            data:"{}",
            dataType: "json"
            error: ajaxFailed
        });

        function ajaxFailed(xmlRequest) {
                alert(xmlRequest.status + ' \n\r ' + //This is always 500.
                xmlRequest.statusText + '\n\r' + 
                xmlRequest.responseText);
        }

What am i missing here?

Looks like you were almost there, here is an example [WebMethod] that would throw a StatusCode 403.

    [WebMethod]
    public static string HelloWorld(string name)
    {
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.StatusCode = 403;
        return null;
    }

Here is the calling jQuery Code.

    $(document).ready(function ()
    {
        var jsonRequest = { name: "Zach Hunter" };

        $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: 'Demo.aspx/HelloWorld',
            data: JSON.stringify(jsonRequest),
            contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
            dataType: 'json',
            success: function (data, text)
            {
                $('#results').html(data.d);
            },
            error: function (request, status, error)
            {
                $('#results').html('Status Code: ' + request.status);
            }
        });
    });

If you don't return a value as specified in your method signature you'll get a status code 500 returned.

According to the documentation:

error(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)

A function to be called if the request fails. The function receives three arguments: The jqXHR (in jQuery 1.4.x, XMLHttpRequest) object, a string describing the type of error that occurred and an optional exception object, if one occurred. Possible values for the second argument (besides null) are "timeout", "error", "abort", and "parsererror". When an HTTP error occurs, errorThrown receives the textual portion of the HTTP status, such as "Not Found" or "Internal Server Error." As of jQuery 1.5, the error setting can accept an array of functions. Each function will be called in turn. Note: This handler is not called for cross-domain script and JSONP requests. This is an Ajax Event.

So change your code to something more like this:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "Services/someSvc.asmx/SomeMethod",
    cache: true,
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    data:"{}",
    dataType: "json",
    error: ajaxFailed (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
}); 

function ajaxFailed(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
    alert(errorThrown + ' \n\r ' + textStatusText);         
}
