# Sheikhpura selects 100 para-legal volunteers, list sent to Patna 2026-11-08T05:51:08+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The District Legal Services Authority, Sheikhpura has completed the selection of para-legal volunteers (PLVs). A total of 100 candidates have been selected, while 100 others have been placed on a waiting list. The list of selected candidates has been sent to the Bihar State Legal Services Authority, Patna for approval. Of 726 applications received for the 100 posts, 598 candidates attended the interview and 128 were absent. The selection committee, chaired by Principal District and Sessions Judge Santosh Kumar Tiwari, interviewed the candidates. Preference was given to those involved in social service, retired government employees, law students, and existing volunteers. Waiting list candidates may be called as needed. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The selection of 100 para-legal volunteers from 726 applicants in Sheikhpura points to a high demand for such roles, likely driven by the need to bridge the gap between the judiciary and marginalised communities. With 128 candidates absent, the process still produced a waiting list of another 100, indicating the authority anticipates future vacancies. The next step is approval from the state authority in Patna, which will determine when these volunteers formally begin work. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Straight factual report of a selection process with no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
