Open notifications from Legal Affairs Dept

No open notification from this body is indexed yet. New notifications are added on a 2–3 day research rotation — until one appears here, check the official recruitment page above, which is always the first place a genuine notification is published.

Government recruitment never charges a placement fee. Apply only on the official website linked here. jobs.4ab.in is an information directory, not a government site — see the disclaimer. If you were asked to pay for a government job offer, an interview call or a medical test, it is a scam: do not pay, and report it here.
