The Punjab government has now decided to recruit law officers. The government will appoint 124 law officers. These appointments will be made in the office of Punjab Advocate General in Chandigarh and the Legal Cell in New Delhi.
The appointments will be made in various categories. The government is trying to make the appointments by the month of May. For this, the entire process will be completed soon.
232 law officers were removed
According to the information received from the Punjab government, the application process for these appointments will run till April 25. The conditions related to the application and all other formalities have been decided. The government is trying not to weaken in any case in the courts.
The government took a big decision exactly two months ago and removed 232 law officers. However, the then AG Gurminder Singh said that all this is part of a fixed process, because these officers are appointed for one year and their appointment was ending in February. The government’s objective is to organize and strengthen the work of the office.
New AG appointed last month
There has been a major change in the AG office of the Punjab government in the recent past. On March 30, the government appointed advocate Maninderjit Singh Bedi as the new Advocate General (AG) of the state. This decision was taken after the resignation of senior lawyer Gurminder Singh Gary.
He had resigned from the post citing personal reasons. During the three-year tenure of the government, three Advocate Generals have been changed so far. During this period, Anmol Ratan Sidhu, Vinod Ghai and Gurminder Singh Gary have served on this post.
