Lahore - In a bid to induct good judges in the district judiciary, LHC Chief Justice Azmat Saeed has introduced an aptitude test for the first time for candidates, to fill 25 vacant posts for additional district and session judges from amongst competent lawyers. According to a notification issued by LHC registrar Sohail Nasir, the aptitude test is scheduled for March 18, and will comprise of multiple choice questions.
The test will be conducted under the supervision of the NTS. Saeed is said to be taking bold steps to streamline the system in the province by deciding to take ADs and SJs from amongst lawyers. The candidates who will qualify the screening test will be called for the written exam, and a interview later. The idea of introducing a screening test in the recruitment of judges comes in the wake of realisation that some of the judges lack the aptitude for good judicial officers, as the chief justice had received many complaints about the incompatible aptitude of some civil judges appointed by the former chief justice of the LHC.
