Hyderabad: No 3-year practice for junior judges
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: The Telangana High Court on Tuesday allowed fresh law graduates to apply for the post of junior civil judge by setting aside the pre-requisite that they must have three years of practice as advocates, a norm that was in vogue for the past two years. While giving the order, the bench recalled the guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court to the high courts and state governments to amend their rules to allow fresh law graduates who do not have three years of practice to compete and enter judicial services. Challenging the clause, several petitions were filed before the Telanga-na high court since 2018, when the high court registrar issued a notification to fill up JCJ posts. The bench also directed the high court registry to permit the judicial staff in categories like senior assistants, junior assistants and typists to compete for the civil judges post recruitment under the transfer quota.
