High Court of Judicature at Allahabad Retired Staff Recruitment 2026 - 12 Posts

The High Court of Judicature at Allahabad notice is linked to the District Judge, Meerut office and follows High Court circular instructions dated 15 October 2022. The recruitment is for re-engaging retired employees so that court work can continue smoothly in Meerut district court. Only retired district court employees and employees retiring by 30 June 2026 are covered by this notice.

This is a temporary re-engagement for support staff posts, not a fresh permanent recruitment for new candidates. The notice also says retired employees from other district courts should attach copies of their last five years' character roll with the application.

Engagement Terms

The re-engagement is meant to fill working gaps in the District Court, Meerut until regular appointment or promotion is completed. The notice makes the term conditional: it can end on new appointment/promotion, after one year, or when the person reaches 65 years, whichever comes first.

This notice is useful only for people who already have district court service background. If you are a fresh job seeker with no district court retirement record, this notice is not for you. Employees who are still in service but will retire by 30 June 2026 can also submit the offline application.
