Office of the Principal District and Sessions Judge Munger has invited offline applications for 3 posts of Stenographer, Clerk, and Peon for Evening Courts. Eligible candidates can submit applications by 30 November 2026.
Munger holds a storied place in Bihar administrative and judicial history. Situated along the banks of the sacred Ganges River, the district historically exercised extensive territorial jurisdiction covering modern-day Begusarai, Khagaria, Lakhisarai, Sheikhpura, and Jamui districts before administrative reorganization. The legal bar in Munger has produced distinguished jurists and advocates who contributed significantly to constitutional litigation before the Patna High Court and Supreme Court of India.
With rapid commercialization along the Jamalpur railway workshop corridor and agricultural markets across rural subdivisions, the nature of litigation has evolved. Modern courtroom dockets feature an increasing volume of negotiable instrument dishonors, petty property boundary trespassing, revenue tenancy revisions, and summary trial prosecutions. Handling these matters during regular morning hours often strains trial benches focused on serious sessions offenses such as murder, dacoity, and narcotics trafficking.
The establishment of Special Evening Courts provides a dedicated legal forum where litigants and accused persons in bailable, compoundable disputes can appear after standard business hours. This prevents daily wage earners, small traders, and rural farmers from losing day wages while attending court hearings. Appointing experienced retired staff ensures that these specialized benches function with identical procedural rigour, accuracy, and decorum as regular morning courts.
Munger Judgeship is one of the historic judicial establishments in Bihar, functioning under the supervisory jurisdiction of the High Court of Judicature at Patna. The district judiciary administers justice across civil, criminal, motor accident claims, family, and commercial matters originating across Munger Sadar, Jamalpur, Tarapur, Haveli Kharagpur, and Dharhara subdivisions in eastern Bihar.
The accumulation of petty criminal cases, compoundable offenses, municipal disputes, and dishonored check complaints under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act creates heavy docket pressure on regular morning trial courts. To provide speedy disposal and relief to litigants, the Government of Bihar and Patna High Court operationalized Special Evening Courts. Operating after standard office hours, these courts clear pending trials without demanding fresh permanent courtroom infrastructure.
Operating Evening Courts requires experienced court staff who are thoroughly conversant with judicial filing rules, order-sheet preparation, summons delivery, and Case Information System (CIS) data entry. The Principal District Judge has accordingly issued an official recruitment notice dated 07 November 2026 to engage retired judicial personnel with clean past service records on a contractual honorarium basis for 3 posts.
This engagement offers retired court officials a respectable avenue to utilize their procedural knowledge toward reducing case backlogs while earning monthly honoraria. Don't miss this opportunity if you satisfy the prescribed judicial service criteria.
The 3 vacancies announced under notice dated 07 November 2026 are distributed across key support cadres:
1. Stenographer (Aashulipik): 1 post. The appointee will provide verbatim stenographic assistance to the presiding judicial officer during evening trials, taking down depositions and typing judgments.
2. Clerk (Lipik): 1 post. The clerk will manage court dockets, prepare daily cause lists, register newly filed complaints, maintain fine receipt books, and update case statuses on the National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG).
3. Peon / Orderly (Aadeshpal): 1 post. The orderly will announce case titles in corridors, escort case files from the record room to the courtroom, and ensure bench decorum.
Appointments are purely contractual for an initial tenure of one year, subject to extension based on satisfactory service and the continuation of the Evening Court scheme by the state government.
