Dreaming of a Government Job in the Judiciary? Here's Your Chance! The Bombay High Court has just unveiled its recruitment drive for 2025-26, offering a staggering 2381 positions across various roles, including Clerk, Stenographer, Driver, and Peon. But here's where it gets exciting: these opportunities are spread across the Principal Seat in Bombay and its Benches at Nagpur and Aurangabad, making it a golden opportunity for aspirants across Maharashtra. And this is the part most people miss: with such a diverse range of posts, there's something for candidates with varying qualifications and skill sets, from graduates to those with basic literacy and driving skills.
The official notification dropped on 8 December 2025, and the application window is open from 15 December 2025 to 5 January 2026. Controversially, some might argue that the application period is relatively short, leaving candidates with limited time to prepare and apply. What do you think? Is this a fair assessment, or does the court's timeline make sense given the scale of the recruitment? Let’s discuss in the comments!

Eligibility criteria vary by post, but here’s a quick rundown: candidates must be between 18 to 38 years old as of 5 January 2026, with age relaxation as per government rules. For instance, Clerks need a graduate degree and typing proficiency, while Drivers require a 10th pass, a valid LMV license, and 3 years of experience.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the qualifications and skills required for each post:

This recruitment drive is not just a job opportunity; it’s a chance to be part of the esteemed judiciary system.
