must mention maximum qualification required for the Job.

To,           January 30^th 2015.

Registrar Recruitments,                                       

High Court of Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh.

Sub; Mentioning of maximum qualifications in recruitment forms.

Sir,

1.     Recently a Judge was overheard saying that a doctor had applied for job of a peon. Now it was never intended that doctors of more qualified persons can apply for posts advertised by High Court. This error has occurred since many people do not know that each post is meant for certain category of qualification and persons more qualified are not entitled for the same. Hence it is suggested that in future while laying down qualifications for any post the advertisements should invariably also mention the maximum qualification. E.G.

Minimum Qualification - - - - - -

Maximum Qualification - - - - - -

2.     There are whispers in the corridors that most jobs are given to kith and kin of existing employees. Such a reputation lowers the dignity of High Court. Justice should not be done but it should also appear to have been done, hence in future the recruitment form should also contain a clause seeking declaration from candidate whether any 1^st or 2^nd degree relative is already working in the establishment of High Court and particulars be given and separate data of such employees be also maintained. .

3.     It is seen in a number of cases that last date of submission for forms is invariably extended. This conduct on the part of High Court raises suspicions in the minds of public as if such extension is made for favoring someone in recruitment. Hence extension of last date lowers the dignity of High Court and people lose faith in administration of justice. In no circumstances should last date for submissions of forms be extended.

In service of Nation,
