Added: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]Hello everyone welcome to Taksh Lock Academy and today we are going to talk about Uttar Pradesh Higher Judicial Service and you also know that your LDC examination has also come, wait a second, yes, as you know, the notification for LDC exam has also come and you have to fill the form. The second thing is that yesterday on 5th May 2026, we showed you a photo of the newspaper that this amendment of yours is also to be made in it, it had been notified, you have seen that. After that, the entire focus today will be on who will be eligible for the recruitment in Uttar Pradesh Higher Judiciary.

[00:00:55]Ok? Now along with that, let me tell you one more thing that brother, the amendment which they had made on 5th May to 11th March 2026, they have already implemented it in LDCE. So since they have implemented it, this amendment should also be implemented by you so that your cut off will also change. You may have more eligible candidates. Now he understands the entire scenario. First of all, along with that, whoever wants to join the test series for Uttar Pradesh Higher Judiciary or LDCE, the number is also given in the description. The remaining number is 79063726.

[00:01:38]You can contact him on that.

[00:01:40]You will get all the things like test series etc. And let's start this particular video. So first of all let us come to the rules of our higher judiciary. Now here your rules are the Uttar Pradesh Higher Judicial Service Rules 1975 and the last amendment in it happened on 5 May 2026. Now the definition is here.

[00:02:06]This became your cadre. Then after this we come to recruitment which is the most important. Now here your PIL or writ has already been filed.

[00:02:17]All things are also going on through LDCA.

[00:02:20]So part three is recruitment and here rule five that is source of recruitment. Now when we talk here, this rule of yours tells how people come to the post of District Judge or higher judicial post? Recruitment basically happens in three ways. So let us understand one by one. First comes A.

[00:02:44]What you have mentioned in AA is promotion by seniority [ __ ] married. Your Rule Five A says that the first source of promotion is Civil Judge Senior Division.

[00:02:57]What are you saying here? Civil Judge Senior Division. You must have at least 5 years of qualifying service in the post of Civil Judge Senior Division.

[00:03:06]Selection is done on the basis of merit [ __ ] seniority.

[00:03:12]You need to take a suitability test.

[00:03:15]What this means is that seniority alone is not enough. Your performance will be seen.

[00:03:20]Your Annual Confidential Report which is ACR will be seen. Court management skills will be observed. Everything is seen. How has your judicial temperament been in the suitability test?

[00:03:34]How has your knowledge been? After looking at all the things and checking your efficiency, you are given promotion only after that. When we talk in B, it talks about LDCE that is Limited Departmental Competitive Examination for which your vacancy has just come. Now this is a very important and competitive route here. The eligibility mentioned here is that you should have at least seven years of service in the Uttar Pradesh Judicial Service. Along with that, you should have total service and three years of continuous satisfactory service as a Civil Judge in Senior Division. Ok? So here your competition is completely on merit basis.

[00:04:26]What's the difference now? The former has less seniority and merit than the latter. That means seniority also matters. But in LDCE the selection is done on pure merit. The candidate who scores the highest marks in LDCE is selected. Whether his seniority is less or whatever. Ok? Now this particular route is for those people who perform well in competitive exams and want to prove their knowledge. Now after this comes C. C talks about direct recruitment which happens from outside among the advocates. Now this is the most interesting and important part for outsiders which is direct recruitment which is already related to your vacancy in 2023.

[00:05:13]Now this is your direct from bar one, here first you have been talked about as a practicing advocate. So whatever basic requirement is asked in this, you should have at least 7 years of practice as an advocate. Last date of application. Ok? From Submission of Last Submission of Application Form. By the time your last date is fixed, you should have completed seven years of practice. Along with that, it has been told to you in the provided that the record of last three years is important for you that you have conducted at least this many cases independently in the last three years.

[00:06:00]Now keep in mind here that in the independently conducted cases, this time in the vacancy of 2023, they had also allowed combined cases. But now I feel that I have done it independently.

[00:06:16]But even on this, if this thing of independent is written in the next vacancy, then a writ will be filed against you for the vacancy of 2023 that you had allowed it there, you have given the explanation here sorry, appearance in one stock, they will ask for only one appearance. Ok? They are considering it as a single appearance. So it may be possible that they can do something here. Ok? The explanation is that here the unreserved category has to bring 30 cases and in the reserved category 25 candidates have to bring 24 cases for SC, ST, OBC and EWS extra. Well, here we have talked about certification, which is your next certification under the explanation, so you will have to give a certificate of this which has to be taken from the authority mentioned in the advertisement, like if we become a District Judge, then after getting the certificate from the Bar Council, we go to the District Judge.

[00:07:14]So this condition has been kept so that not only the advocates in name but also the experienced lawyers who actually work in the court should go to the higher judiciary.

[00:07:24]Now this second one that you have been talking about is Judicial Officer with past advocacy experience. Now what you have said here is that this is for those judicial officers who were earlier advocates. The condition is that before getting recruited in the Provincial Civil Services i.e. Judicial, you have done continuous practice for 7 years or more as an Advocate, Leader, Government Leader, Public Prosecutor.

[00:07:56]Meaning, if you were a lawyer earlier, then you became PCS J and now you are applying for a higher post, then you can come under this. Along with this, read both of them together.

[00:08:10]Comes in the third clause. This is talking about combined experience. For which they have not given the vacancy.

[00:08:20]They have not even opened the forms for this.

[00:08:24]Now what is it that it is the most flexible. The condition is that you have a combination of 7 years or more as an advocate plus your advocacy plus your experience as a judicial officer and continuous experience, brother, suppose you have 5 years in advocacy and 3 years as a judicial officer, then in total you have 8 years and you are eligible or you have 6 years in advocacy and 2 years of which you have been in JJP, then you have 8 years and you are eligible. So here is this particular portion or where have they kept it for this?

[00:09:07]Placed in Direct From Bar. So when they have kept this thing in Direct From Bar then why did they not open the form for this?

[00:09:20]Why have they not opened the form for this? This is wrong.

[00:09:23]This is the ground for the Red Petition. So if someone wants to do it, then you have grounds on this also, you can file a writ because you are eligible for higher judiciary because you have a combination of continuous experience of 6 years plus, that means 6 years as an advocate plus judicial officer, so you can definitely apply, your minimum age is 35, keeping that in mind, they have not taken out this thing here, which is disappointing, ma'am, a news is circulating about UPP TCS J. Is CJ going to come and how much authentic news is there which is going on in the Telegram group.

[00:10:04]Look Hrithik Sonkar ji, you are seeing the situation, what is the situation at this time that even if your vacancy in judicial services gets notified, for an instance, they should not notify it, but even if they notify it, then in any case, it is not possible for them to conduct it. So brother, here we would suggest you that for now you should focus on preparation and try to focus on Mains right now. There is no need to do Pre so much right now because when you do Mains, both Pre and Mains will be covered for you. So for now, don't go by rumours because rumours somewhere create a very bad pressure that a vacancy is about to come. Until your decision regarding Bhumika Trust is made, even if the vacancy comes by mistake, it will be fine.

[00:11:09]You are seeing the condition of Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission. All their papers are coming out. They are not able to conduct the paper.

[00:11:14]They don't have anything in the centre.

[00:11:16]Everything is going like this for them. So even if they notify it by mistake, they will still get stuck.

[00:11:22]So let us assume that whatever is happening in Bihar has been postponed, it is difficult to say anything at this time. Please tell me about the case because those who practice in the High Court, yes this is the thing with two-three people, yes Shashank Mishra ji, that is what I am saying here, but the thing is that if next time he writes independently, then this time when the vacancy came in 2023, the students had gone to the Supreme Court regarding independently and from there these people had brought a case that brother it was allowed, so there they had issued a notice in between that bunch cases are also allowed. This is also allowed, that is also allowed. So you will also be allowed. You can refer to that particular notification which was issued through Allahabad High Court.

[00:12:14]You can show him the exit and estoppel or you can get it declared that you have already done this. So you will be allowed in this.

[00:12:22]Because it is not possible for one person to issue a power of attorney. Brother, in every case, two to three power of attorney are required.

[00:12:30]Ok? So don't worry about that thing.

[00:12:36]Ok?

[00:12:37]Rest of the test series etc. are all going on.

[00:12:40]Whoever wants to join, the contact number is 79063 726. You can contact for the Mains Higher Judicial Examination LDCE and UPAPO for all.
