🏛️ About the High Court of Balochistan
The High Court of Balochistan is the highest judicial institution in the province of Balochistan, established under the Constitution of Pakistan. Headquartered at the Principal Seat in Quetta, the High Court exercises original, appellate, and constitutional jurisdiction over the entire province — adjudicating civil, criminal, and constitutional matters. It is the guardian of fundamental rights and the final arbiter of provincial legal disputes.
The High Court is now inviting applications for 10 Personal Assistant (BPS-17) positions at its Principal Seat. Personal Assistants in the High Court play a critical role in judicial administration — taking dictation of court orders and judgments at high speed (120 WPM shorthand), transcribing legal documents, managing case files, and assisting Honorable Judges in their chambers. This is a regular government service position under the High Court Establishment (Appointment and Condition of Service) Rules, 2020, offering job security, pension benefits, and the prestige of working in Pakistan's superior judiciary. The selection process includes a written test followed by viva voce/interview. Both male and female candidates with Balochistan domicile are eligible. The High Court maintains strict standards of merit — any approach, recommendation, or influence renders the applicant unfit.
