Hyderabad High Court to decide on hiring junior civil judges

 

Senior counsel Sarasani Satyam Reddy, the party in person in a PIL seeking to stay the recruitment of junior civil judge posts following the notification issued in by undivided AP, moved a miscellaneous application before the bench. 

 

He said that the court has granted an interim order on his petition with regard to the recruitment of junior civil judges following the notification issued in February 2014 by directing the registry not finalise the appointment process. The High Court also took up the recruitment of 33 junior civil judges and recruitment by promotions and transfers  through the notification issued in 2015 after the formation of Telangana.

 

When the bench said that it would make applicable the orders issued earlier, the petitioner  took exception and urged the court to stay the entire process as the notification was issued after formation of the new state. Senior counsel P. Venugopal appearing for the High Court sought time to get instructions from the High Court in this matter.

 

While granting time, the bench said that it will pronounce its decision on Thursday and directed the registry to list the matter at 2.15 pm.
