Judicial Magistrate

About This Job

Pakistan Railways Headquarter Office, the federal body functioning under the Ministry of Railways and responsible for administering rail operations, land assets, and infrastructure across Pakistan, has announced open recruitment for the post of Judicial Magistrate on a contract basis, published on the National Jobs Portal on 11 September 2026. The advertisement calls for 3 vacancies at BPS-17, allocated as Open Merit: 1, Punjab: 1, Sindh (Rural): 1. This posting is part of a wider recruitment drive launched the same day by the Land Directorate of Pakistan Railways, covering nearly twenty positions spanning land management, legal, GIS, contract, licensing, and revenue functions at the organization's headquarters. The selected candidate for this role will be tasked with adjudicating cases referred by Pakistan Railways as part of its judicial process for land and encroachment-related matters, working within the broader land administration set-up of Pakistan Railways.

Eligible candidates must hold Bachelor's degree in Law (LLB) from a recognized university, along with a High Court license with a minimum of 2 years of relevant post-qualification experience. The upper age limit prescribed for this post is 62 years, and there is no separate qualification or age relaxation stated for male or female applicants in the advertisement. The recruitment is being conducted on a contract basis and is open to candidates of either gender, with seats distributed across open merit and the regional quotas noted above, reflecting Pakistan Railways' standard all-Pakistan recruitment practice for headquarters-level contract posts. Applicants should ensure their academic credentials and any professional registration (where applicable, such as with the Pakistan Engineering Council) are complete and verifiable before applying, since incomplete qualifications are a common reason for rejection at the scrutiny stage.

Interested and eligible candidates can apply for this Judicial Magistrate position only through the National Jobs Portal at njp.gov.pk, where they need to log in and submit their application online; no separate application form or postal submission is indicated for this post. The advertisement does not mention any application processing fee for this vacancy.

Candidates with further queries can reach the Pakistan Railways Headquarter Office at info@pakrail.gov.pk or via the landline and mobile numbers listed on the official posting.
