UPSC to recruit assistant public prosecutors
AGE CORRESPONDENT
NEW DELHI
The UPSC has assured the Delhi high court that it will soon conduct recruitment to the posts of assistant public prosecutors (APPs) so that trials in lower courts will not get affected.
Rajiv Virmani, appearing on behalf of the UPSC, has told a division bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice Manmo-han of the Delhi high court that the commission will soon conduct recruitment to the various posts of APPs, which are lying vacant so that the ongoing trials in various lower courts would not get affected.
Mr Virmani submitted before the court that the NCT government has sent a request for filling up vacancies to 44 such posts and that the commission sought a clarification as it found some deficiencies.
The division bench directed the Delhi government to submit the clarification within 10 days to ensure filling up of the posts as early as possible.
Earlier this month, the court sought response from UPSC as to why the vacancies for the posts of APPs have not been filled up for the past several years.
The bench had taken suo motu cognisance of a letter written by a group of undertrials that due to delay in trial process they end up spending more time in jail than the prescribed sentence under the law. Later, it came to the court’s knowledge that due to shortage of public prosecutors, the hearing of cases got delayed as one PP was assigned cases at more than one court.
The court also sought an affidavit from the government with regard to the post of director of prosecution and the posts of APP.
