Govt Chandigarh Judicial Academy (CJA) Jobs 2025 - Sarkari Naukri

An institution takes its birth through a thought process. A process which continues to dwell in the mind of a person with versatility and vision. Many minds considered the idea of giving shape to "Judicial Education". The crystallization of this idea took its time. Ultimately, the matter came within the domain of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, when their Lordships were delving into the issues raised, in re: All India Judges Association vs. Union of India and others. The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India mandated that "an institute" needs to be set up for imparting "Judicial Education" and that such effort shall not be allowed to suffer the impediments at different levels in the judicial hierarchy nor in the executive domain. The mind set was that a "young judicial officer", who by dint of his/her brilliance, qualifies to be a member of the judicial system for imparting justice, needs to be guided vis-à-vis the functions of judicial system and the mannerism in which justice be done at the earliest.
In the year 1995, a proposal for setting up of a joint institute, for the States of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, was made. A meeting was held in the chamber of Hon'ble Mr. Justice R.P. Sethi, the then Judge of Punjab and Haryana High Court, and later Judge of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, on May 24, 1996, which was attended by the Chief Secretaries of Punjab and Haryana. The Chief Secretary of Haryana had offered to set up the institute at Panchkula, which would impart judicial training to the Judicial Officers from the States of Punjab, Haryana, Union Territory Chandigarh, Jammu& Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh.
