The Delhi High Court has issued notice on a PIL challenging the requirement of three years’ prior practice at the Bar for direct recruitment as an Assistant Public Prosecutor, and its application to the ongoing recruitment for 140 APP posts. The plea contends the condition arbitrarily excludes fresh law graduates, newly enrolled advocates and candidates with disabilities, in violation of Articles 14 and 16. The Court sought the response of the Union, the Delhi Government and the Directorate of Prosecution.
