Eight Judicial Officers Placed Under APO After Surprise Inspection in Rajasthan

The Acting Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court has placed eight judicial officers under “Awaiting Posting Orders” (APO) with immediate effect for administrative reasons.

The inspection was conducted after a bomb threat email led to the temporary disruption of court proceedings earlier in the day.

During the surprise inspection of district and subordinate courts, several courtrooms were found vacant, and some judicial officers were absent from their designated seats during court hours.  Following the inspection, the Registrar General issued formal APO orders.

The officers have been directed to report to the Rajasthan High Court, Jodhpur, or the District and Sessions Judge headquarters at Jodhpur until further posting orders.
