DLSA Palamau Permanent Lok Adalat Member Recruitment 2026

DLSA Palamau Permanent Lok Adalat Member Recruitment 2026: Overview

The District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Palamau at Daltonganj wants to fill the post of Member in the Permanent Lok Adalat (PLA), Palamau. A Permanent Lok Adalat settles disputes about public utility services — things like passenger and goods transport, postal and telephone services, power and water supply, hospitals, insurance, banking, education and housing — without a long court case.

That is why the notice looks for a person with solid working experience in one of these service sectors, not a law degree. The vacancy notice was issued on the direction of the Jharkhand State Legal Services Authority (JHALSA) and put up on the Civil Court Palamau website. If you are a retired or senior professional from banking, insurance, healthcare, education, transport, power or a similar public service, this is a respected part-time role in your own district.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Not a monthly salary: Members are paid a sitting fee for each sitting plus conveyance allowance, as set by the Permanent Lok Adalat (Other Terms and Conditions of Appointment of Chairman and Other Persons) Amendment Rules, 2025.
• Term of office: You hold the post for five years or until you turn 65, whichever comes first.
• Criminal record declaration: The form asks whether you have ever been convicted or have any criminal case pending; a false or misleading answer can cancel your candidature.
• Proof of experience: Attach copies of your experience and work-profile certificates along with your educational certificates, since experience in a public utility service is the main requirement.

Application Submission Notes

Fill the prescribed application format attached to the notice, paste one recent passport-size photograph on it, and address it to The Chairman, District Legal Services Authority, Civil Court, Palamau, PIN 822101. Put two self-addressed envelopes with Rs. 55 stamps each inside the packet.

The application must reach the office by Speed Post or Courier by 5 PM on the last date — posting it on the final day is not enough. For queries, the DLSA office lists phone 8757269596 and email dlsapalamu123@gmail.com.
