The Office of the Principal District and Sessions Judge, Yadgir, Karnataka, has released four linked notifications dated 20 August 2026 – Notification Nos. J.Nyaya.Aadalita 03/2026 to 06/2026 – published in the Karnataka Gazette, Volume 161, Issue 41 dated 25 August 2026, for direct recruitment to 23 posts across four cadres in the Kalyana Karnataka Vrinda (Local Cadre) of Yadgir district courts. The posts are Typist (5), Typist Copyist (4), Process Server (9) and Peon (5). The online application window opens on 31 August 2026 and closes on 30 September 2026 at 11:59 PM at yadgir.dcourts.gov.in/online-recruitment. Fee payment must be completed by 1 October 2026.
Important – Read Before You Apply: Four things that will block your application or appointment. First, all 23 posts are in the Kalyana Karnataka Vrinda – Local Cadre under Article 371-J of the Constitution – candidates must produce an eligibility certificate from the competent authority in the format prescribed under Government Order No. DPAR/06/PLC/2012 dated 06.11.2013; candidates outside the Kalyana Karnataka region are not eligible. Second, the category and reservation entered in the online application is final – no change is permitted under any circumstances after submission; verify your category carefully before clicking submit. Third, if your SSLC or equivalent marks are shown as a grade rather than numeric marks, you must convert the grade to marks and obtain a marks statement from the competent authority before applying – for Process Server and Peon posts where shortlisting is based on marks percentage, an unverified grade will make it impossible to rank your candidature. Fourth, caste certificates must be in the prescribed format (Form D for SC/ST, Form E for Category-1, Form F for Category-2A/2B/3A/3B) and must be obtained specifically for employment purposes – certificates obtained for education or other benefits are not accepted.
