“Recommended by RSS”: PIL in Allahabad HC against new appointments of law officers

A Public Interest Litigation Plea has been moved before the Allahabad High Court challenging the recent appointments of state law officers alleging that the officers were appointed based on the recommendations of Hindu militant group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

Alleging the violation of the Supreme Court ruling in the appointments to the post of state law officers, the PIL submits that neither any application had been invited nor any committee had been constituted and from the back door such appointments were made in an illegal and arbitrary manner, reported Live Law.

According to the PIL, 220 recently appointed officers, many are relatives of dominant politicians in Uttar Pradesh and some are relatives of the Judicial officers and few are juniors or followers of Additional Advocate Generals in High Court.

The plea has been moved by Advocates Rama Shankar Tiwari, Shashank Kumar Shukla, and ​​Arvind Kumar.

Some advocates who are not in regular practice in High Court at Allahabad or Lucknow nor in lower courts have been appointed as state law officer/ brief holder, the plea claimed. It has also been stated that some advocates who have not completed 5 years of practice have also been appointed as state law officers/brief holders (Civil and Criminal).
