Krishna Court Fast Track Court Staff Recruitment 2026

Krishna District Court Fast Track Courts Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Principal District Court, Krishna at Machilipatnam is hiring contract staff for the Fast Track Courts sanctioned to Krishna District in Andhra Pradesh. The drive covers Head Clerk, Stenographer, Junior Assistant-cum-Typist and Office Subordinate (Attender) posts. Retired judicial employees get first preference; outside candidates are considered only for posts where no suitable retired employee is available.

This is a temporary, ad hoc contract engagement, not a regular court job. If you are a fresh graduate with typewriting or shorthand certificates, or a 7th-class pass with driving, cooking or ironing skills, you can still apply. Earlier work in the courts gives outside candidates an edge.

Posts and Disciplines

• Head Clerk: Open only to retired judicial employees who retired as Superintendent (Category III of the A.P. Judicial Ministerial Service Rules) or above. Outside candidates cannot apply for this post.
• Stenographer: Open to retired stenographers of the judicial ministerial service, and to outside graduates holding the A.P. Government Technical Examination certificates in English typewriting and shorthand. Lower Grade certificates may be accepted if Higher Grade holders are not available.
• Junior Assistant-cum-Typist: Open to retired Junior Assistants or Typists with a typewriting qualification, and to outside graduates with the English Typewriting (Higher Grade) certificate and computer skills.
• Office Subordinate (Attender): Open to retired last-grade employees, and to outside candidates who passed Class 7. You must have car driving, cooking or ironing skill. Anyone with a qualification above Intermediate-failed level is not eligible.
