The OBC Advocates Welfare Association in Bhopal has filed a memorandum with the Registrar General of the High Court in Jabalpur regarding irregularities in the recruitment of civil judges and other staff. The association had previously sent the memorandum to the President of India, who forwarded it to the Department of Law and Legislative Affairs in Madhya Pradesh.
The association is demanding an independent committee to investigate the recruitment process, including the 2022 civil judge appointments and other court staff appointments. Retired judge Abhay Gohil's committee, established in 2017, found that 16 candidates who had not completed their BA LLB were appointed as civil judges by the High Court examination cell.
The committee also accused the NLUI registrar of issuing "pass" degrees to these 16 candidates. Despite the committee's reports, no action has been taken. Association president and senior advocate Rameshwar Thakur stated that if the High Court does not take any action, the association will seek the recruitment of civil judges to be entrusted to the UPSC and the recruitment of other staff to the Employees State Board.
