UPHRC Chairperson and Member Recruitment 2026: Overview
Uttar Pradesh Human Rights Commission (UPHRC) has openings for Chairperson and Judicial Member in Lucknow. The Uttar Pradesh Home Department's Human Rights Section 2 has asked the named judicial and government authorities to send panels of names for consideration. This is a nomination-based appointment process, so you need to follow the channel described in the letters.
Posts and Disciplines
- Chairperson: This is the Commission's chairperson position in Lucknow. The letter links the opening to the completion of the previous chairperson's term and asks for a panel with each nominee's availability and consent.
- Judicial Member: This is the judicial member position in the same Commission. The opening follows the previous member's retirement, and the letter asks the authorities to provide updated nominations for consideration.
Service Conditions and Caveats

- Chairperson tenure: The notice describes a three-year term from taking charge, subject to the statutory retirement-age limit. The earlier endpoint applies. It also states that reappointment is permitted.
- Consent: A proposed name must be supported by the person's willingness to take up the appointment. The chairperson letter also asks the forwarding authorities to confirm availability.
