The Hon’ble Supreme Court in Renu and others vs. District and Sessions Judge, Tis Hazari and another (C.A.No.979 of 2014) [(2014) 14 SCC 50] has laid down guidelines for direct Recruitment, including constitution of a Centralized Recruitment Cell. Pursuant thereto, in view of large number of vacancies in Division-III of the Madras High Court Service and since the High Court does not have the required manpower, expertise and infrastructure facilities to16 TAMIL NADU GOVERNMENT GAZETTE [Part III—Sec. 2 deal with the process of recruitment to fi ll up such large Number of vacancies, the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission was requested by the High Court to take up the recruitment process for the said posts. However, the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission has expressed their inability to accede to the request of the High Court since the prescribed qualifi cation for Division-III posts in the High Court Service is 8th Standard pass, more number of candidates, who had highly qualifi ed, would also apply and that the expected applications would be ranging from 15 to 20 lakhs, in which event, the recruitment work proposed by the High Court would involve handling of a large number of applications, incurring huge expenditure on conducting examination and diversion of manpower, which may cause disturbance to various recruitment programmes scheduled already by the said Commission. In view of the above fact and further in view of the fact that the constitution of the Centralized Recruitment Cell may take some considerable time, the High Court of Judicature at Madras, represented by its Registrar General, has fi led M.A.No.798 of 2017 in the above said Renu’s case before the Hon’ble Supreme Court, praying to permit the High Court of Madras, to appoint personnel to vacancies in Division-III of the Madras High Court Service, on co-terminus basis of the services of the Hon’ble Judges in the Madras High Court, pending constitution and full-fl edged functioning of the Centralized Recruitment Cell and the Hon’ble Supreme Court has allowed the said Application on 18-9-2017. Thereafter, the High Court has collected the Rules framed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, with regard to the services of the co-terminus employees in their establishment for reference.
