Devbhumi Dwarka Family Court Counsellor — empanelment

The Family Courts of Khambhaliya, Okha-Mandal and Kalyanpur in Devbhumi Dwarka district have invited applications for empanelment as Counsellor, under Advt No. 3/6/1/320/2026, under the Gujarat Family Court (Amendment) Rules, 2023. This is an empanelment (panel) appointment, not a fixed number of posts — the notice states no vacancy count.

A typo in the notice — please note

The body text of the notice misprints the interview end date as "27 November, 2024". The programme table at the top of the same PDF says 26–27 November 2026, which is the correct reading used here.
