The Haryana Law Officers (Engagement) Amendment Act, 2020

General20205 sections

This Act amends the Haryana Law Officers (Engagement) Act, 2016 to update how law officers are engaged and managed in the state. It changes the language from "appointed" to "engaged" throughout the original law. Additionally, it increases the maximum number of law officers allowed under a specific provision from five to ten. The most significant change introduces a new section allowing the state government to re-designate law officers to higher positions based on the Advocate General's recommendation and their experience and case record. This ensures better career progression and flexibility in staffing legal roles within the state administration.
