5.6 The aforesaid order was passed after hearing all the parties and the same was evidently in order to ensure that the number of APPs as may be needed by the State Government are appointed without booking any further delay. There was a concern amongst all quarters since the need to appoint APPs in the courts of the State was long standing. In Bhavneeta Darji (supra) this Court in paragraph 12 observed thus, "the subordinate criminal courts suffer from a functional paralysis for want of availability of adequate numbers of Assistant Public Prosecutors, which become matter of greater concern becuase of scarcity of quality numbers". The aforesaid order dated 09th May, 2018 was not only in furtherance of Rule 14, it could be said to be reflective of aliveness of the Court that the State Government appoint APPs, for which the way was already paved with dismissal of Bhavneeta Darji (supra). As seen above, Rule 14(2) provide that to the extent of number of vacancies to be filled in, the GPSC shall recommend the qualified candidates.
