Detailed Summary

The Department of Law, Justice and Legislative Affairs, Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, issued a notification dated 26th September 2023 (No.F.1/16/2020-Judl./P.F.-1/Suptlaw/1711-1716) titled the Delhi Judicial Service (Amendment) Rules, 2023, made by the Lieutenant Governor of the National Capital Territory of Delhi in consultation with the High Court of Delhi, in exercise of powers under the proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution read with Ministry of Home Affairs Notification No.F.1/2/70/DH(S) dated 29th May 1970, as amended by Notification No.F.1/2/70-DH(S) dated 25th July 1970. The rules, effective from the date of publication in the Official Gazette, substitute existing Rule 24 of the Delhi Judicial Service Rules, 1970 with a revised pay scale table for members of the service: Civil Judge (Junior Division) J-1 Rs.77840-136520; Civil Judge (Junior Division) I stage ACP (J-2) Rs.92960-136520 after five years' service; Civil Judge (Senior Division)/II stage ACP for Junior Division (J-3) Rs.111000-163030; Civil Judge (Senior Division) I stage ACP (J-4) Rs.122700-180200 after five years' service; and II stage ACP for Civil Judges (Senior Division) (J-5) Rs.144840-194660 after a further five years. The rules provide that grant of Assured Career Progression (ACP) benefits is not automatic but subject to appraisal of work and performance by the High Court, that the first ACP grant to Civil Judges (Junior Division) is assessed on relaxed norms limited to checking for consistently poor performance or adverse reports, that the ACP grant process must begin three months before an officer completes 5 or 10 years of service, that financial benefit must be paid within six months of entering the 6th or 11th year, and that delay in grant entitles the officer to one additional increment per year of delay, adjustable against ACP arrears. A new 'Table-I', referenced under Rule 24, is inserted after the Appendix, setting out existing and revised pay scales and year-wise pay progression (Years 1-20) for seven judicial officer levels from Civil Judge (Junior Division) Entry Level (J-1) through District Judges (Super Time Scale) (J-7). The notification is issued by order of the Lieutenant Governor of the National Capital Territory of Delhi and signed by Bharat Parashar, Principal Secretary.
