Family Court Kushinagar Counsellor Recruitment 2026

Family Court Kushinagar Counsellor Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Principal Judge, Family Court, Kushinagar at Padrauna in Uttar Pradesh is appointing a Counsellor for the family court set up in the district. The appointment follows a letter from the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad and the state's standing orders for family court counsellors, and it is made under Rule 26(1) of the Family Court Rules, 1955. This is a contractual engagement with the court, not a government service post.

If you have a Sociology or Psychology degree and experience in social service, this is a locally based role at the Padrauna family court with a fixed multi-year term. Both men and women who meet the qualifications can apply, and the notice has also been sent for publication in local newspapers and on the court notice boards in Kushinagar.
