High Courts' indefinite delay in notifying judicial service vacancies violates aspirants' constitutional right to public employment and must be remedied by a mandatory statutory timeline enforced through State law.
Aaj ka motion yeh hai: 'State High Courts Must Mandatorily Notify Judicial Service Vacancies Within Six Months' — yeh sawaal UP ke sandarbh mein judicial recruitment mein delay aur access to justice par seedha asar karta hai. Main Nyaya, aaj ki moderator, dono pakshon se nivedan karungi ki wo principle aur procedure ke daayare mein apni daleelen pesh karen. Counsel Aarav, aap pehle apna paksh rakhiye.
My Lord, main yeh firmly kehna chahta hoon ki judicial service vacancies ka samay par notification karna sirf ek administrative suvidha nahi — yeh Article 16 ke tahat equality of opportunity ka ek constitutional daayitva hai. Article 234 ke antargat High Court ki seedhi bhumika hai judicial service ki bharti prakriya mein, aur jab vacancies mahinon-saalon tak notify hi nahi hoti, to eligible aspirants ko unka haq hi nahi milta — yeh Article 16 ka seedha ullan hai. Isliye is motion ki maang bilkul sahi hai: six-month mandatory notification ek constitutional zaroorat hai, discretion ka mamla nahi.

My lord, paksh ne bahut jazbaati tasveer pesh ki — lekin meri shuruaati baat yeh hai ki Constitution ka Article 234 khud High Court ko ek trilateral consultation process mein baandhta hai: Governor, State Public Service Commission, aur High Court — teeno milkar kaam karte hain, aur koi bhi akela ek rigid six-month mandate ko impose karne ki sthiti mein nahi hai. Paksh jo 'mandatory notification' maang raha hai, woh is constitutional framework ko todta hai, kyunki recruitment rules Governor banata hai, High Court nahi — toh ek blanket time-bound obligation sirf High Court par daalna constitutionally asandarbhit (unsound) hai. Samajhti hoon ki vacancies ka backlog ek gambhir samasya hai — lekin galat zimmedaar par galat dawa, yeh solution nahi deti.
Ref: Constitution of India · Article 226
My lord, vipaksh kehta hai ki yeh mandatorily notify karna impractical hai — lekin main unse seedha poochhna chahta hoon: Article 16 under Constitution of India jo public employment mein equality of opportunity guarantee karta hai, woh tab kaise enforce hoga jab vacancies hi notify nahi ki jaayengi? Constitution ka Article 234 spashta karta hai ki High Court ki consultation zaruri hai recruitment mein — iska matlab hai ki High Court ko proactively aur timely kaam karna hi padega, passive rehna constitutional mandate ka ullanghan hai. Isliye six-month mandatory notification sirf ek administrative rule nahi, balki constitutional obligation ka direct extension hai.

My lord, paksh ne Article 234 ka sahara liya — lekin woh provision sirf appointments ki procedure batata hai, mandatory notification timeline nahi. Aur yahi meri core baat hai: jab tak High Court chhe maheene mein vacancy notify karne ki statutory zimmedari se baandha nahi jaata, Article 16 ke tahat equality of opportunity ek kagazi haq ban jaati hai — aspiring candidates ko pata hi nahi chalta ki vacancy hai, aur woh apply bhi nahi kar sakti. Is motion ki maang hai ek mandatory six-month notification — aur bina iske, judicial service mein open, fair aur constitutionally compliant recruitment possible hi nahi, jo Article 16 ki seedhi violation hai.

Pehli taraf ka kehna tha ki Article 16 ke tahat equality of opportunity aur Article 234 ke tahat constitutional mandate dono milkar yeh darshaate hain ki judicial vacancies ki timely notification ek constitutional zimmedari hai, jo six-month rule se enforce honi chahiye — jabki doosri taraf ne Article 234 ke cooperative federal structure ka hawaala dete hue kaha ki yeh discretion Governor, High Court aur Public Service Commission ke beech shared hai, isliye ek rigid mandatory timeline judiciary ki operational autonomy ko baadh sakti hai. Meri balanced legal suggestion yeh hai: State High Courts ko Article 234 ke tahat apni constitutional role ko seriously lete hue ek transparent, time-bound vacancy notification mechanism adopt karna chahiye — jisme Article 16 ke equality principles ka poora khayal rakha jaaye — aur legislature is process ke liye ek clear statutory timeline is prakar banaye ki judicial independence bhi surakshit rahe. Ab main citizens se request karungi ki is debate ko apni samajh se rate karen aur judicial accountability par apni raay den.
