Appointment Of Law Officers At Advocate General’s Office Not Public Employment, No Reservation For Such Professional Engagements

Case: O.B.C. Advocate Welfare Association V State Of M.P. And Ors

Coram: Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice A.K. Sharma

Case No.: Writ Appeal No. 510 Of 2022

Court Observation: The meaning of expression “Establishment” has been limited to the office of the State Government which means all the civil posts created in any of the departments under the State Government. The Office of Advocate General is not a department under the State Government. The Office of Advocate General is neither created under any statutory authority nor constituted under any Act of the State and also under a University or a Company, Corporation or a Cooperative Society, in which at least 51% of the paid up share capital is held by the State Government. The Office of Advocate General is also not a private institution receiving grant-in-aid. More so, the Advocate General or Law Officer in the Office of Advocate General can never be treated as part of work charge or contingency paid establishment or casual appointment.
