| How to apply | Prescribed form to the Senior Civil Judge (Admin), Karak |
| Last date | 13 November 2026 |
The District Judiciary in Karak has opened eleven Class-IV posts for local applicants, and the notice is unusually clear about who it wants: people who hold a Karak domicile, can read and write, and are ready for daily-wage court support work. There is no written-test syllabus to master and no degree to present. The bar is literacy, local residence and a complete, honest file.
The posts are announced by the Senior Civil Judge (Admin), Karak, and the application form comes from that office or from the district judiciary website. The closing date is 13 November 2026, and incomplete or late applications will be rejected outright.
District Court Karak Jobs 2026 – Post-Wise Breakdown
| Post | Scale | Posts | Quota split | Qualification | Age limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Naib Qasid | BPS-03 | 6 | Open merit 5, women 1 | Preferably literate | 18 to 40 years |
| Chowkidar | BPS-03 | 3 | Open merit 3 | Preferably literate | 25 to 40 years |
| Khakrob / Sanitary Worker | BPS-03 | 2 | Open merit 1, minority 1 | Preferably literate | 18 to 40 years |
The quota split deserves a careful read. Naib Qasid reserves one of its six seats for women, and Khakrob reserves one of its two seats for the minority quota. Those reserved seats matter: a woman applicant competes for the Naib Qasid women seat as well as the open seats, and a minority applicant has a dedicated Khakrob seat. The Chowkidar posts, by contrast, carry no reserved seat, and they also carry a higher minimum age of 25 years, against 18 for the other two posts.

What Each Post Involves Day to Day
A Naib Qasid carries files between court offices, delivers papers inside the court building, serves drinking water in offices and runs the small errands that keep a court working through the day. A Chowkidar guards the court premises, watches gates and buildings, and keeps a record of movement after hours. A Khakrob, also called a sanitary worker, keeps court rooms, offices and washrooms clean and usable. None of the three posts needs a degree, but all three need punctuality, honesty and respect for court discipline, because the work happens around judges, lawyers and litigants.
Eligibility – The Domicile Rule Comes First
Applicants must be permanent residents and valid domicile holders of District Karak in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. That rule is absolute: a domicile from another district does not fit, however strong the rest of the file. One exception is written into the notice for married women: a married female applicant may apply on her husband’s Karak domicile if she does not hold one herself.
The qualification bar is deliberately light. “Preferably literate” means the ability to read and write is preferred, not a certificate threshold. Applicants with schooling should still attach their certificates, because a literate file with papers looks stronger than a bare claim. The age limits are counted as of the last application date: 18 to 40 years for Naib Qasid and Khakrob, and 25 to 40 years for Chowkidar.
Male, female, transgender and minority candidates holding Karak domicile are all encouraged to apply. Government employees must apply through their own department with no-objection or lien details, as the notice requires.
Documents Checklist – Attach These With the Form
- Prescribed application form, filled completely
- Attested educational certificates or degrees, if any
- Attested copy of Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC)
- Attested character certificates from two respectable persons who are not relatives
- Employment Exchange Registration Certificate
- Domicile certificate of District Karak
- No-objection certificate, for government employees
Two items on this list catch applicants out. Character certificates must come from two respectable non-relatives, so a certificate from a family member does not count. And the Employment Exchange Registration Certificate is a separate paper that takes time to obtain, so applicants who leave it to the last week risk missing the deadline. Both items should be arranged first, before the form itself is filled.

Why a Daily-Wage Court Post Still Matters
Daily-wage work is not a permanent appointment, and this post does not pretend otherwise. The notice describes the posts as temporary daily-wage, contingent-paid roles. Even so, court work carries real value for a local applicant: regular hours, a respected workplace, experience inside the justice system, and a foot in the door for future court recruitment rounds. For a literate young applicant in Karak with no degree, that combination is hard to find elsewhere in the district.
One wording conflict is flagged honestly here. One listing describes these posts as contract appointments, while the detailed notice text calls them temporary daily-wage, contingent-paid posts. This post follows the detailed notice wording, because it carries the fuller terms, but applicants should confirm the exact basis from the Senior Civil Judge’s office when they collect the form.
Common Mistakes That Get Files Rejected
Late delivery is the first killer, because the notice rejects late files outright. Incomplete files come second: a missing character certificate or a missing Employment Exchange certificate leaves the file short. A wrong domicile comes third, because only Karak domicile fits, apart from the married-women rule above. And a form collected from the wrong court office wastes time that a Karak applicant cannot spare. The fix for all four is the same: collect the form early, arrange the two special certificates first, and submit well before 13 November.
Fraud warning: A real government job never asks you to pay for selection, a test slip, or an appointment letter. Never pay any person or agent who promises you this job, and report such demands to the hiring organisation.
