Meghalaya HC Legal Assistant Recruitment 2026

Meghalaya HC Legal Assistant Recruitment 2026: Overview

The High Court of Meghalaya (Meghalaya HC) is recruiting a Legal Assistant for its High Court Legal Services Committee in Shillong. This court-service role supports people seeking legal aid, including convicts who need help with appeals. The notice connects the position with legal-aid case support and committee administration, so the work extends beyond dealing with an initial request for assistance.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Reservation: The advertised position is unreserved. Read the category conditions in the notice alongside the separate age and fee information before you apply.
• Travel costs: The court will not pay travelling or daily allowances for attending the written examination or personal interview. You will need to make your own arrangements if called.
• Recruitment conditions: The Chief Justice may relax conditions in the advertisement. The court also keeps the right to cancel the recruitment without giving a reason, so applying does not guarantee that the process will reach appointment.
• Communication: Recruitment messages will be sent online. Use an email address and mobile number that you can check regularly, and enter both correctly in your application.
• Queries: You can contact the High Court Registry during office hours for further details about the notice.

Application Submission Notes

The notice directs you to the Online Application icon on the High Court website. Apply as the official notification directs. It does not provide a separate post-specific application URL, and applications sent through another mode will not be accepted.

First-time applicants need one-time registration on the recruitment portal before applying. If you already have a registration, the notice says you can log in and choose the advertised post. Read the portal instructions before entering your details.
