Introduction: The Decisive 25 Marks in Allahabad High Court Skill Tests
In competitive recruitment tests conducted by the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad (such as AHC Stenographer Grade III, Personal Assistant, and Review Officer / Assistant Review Officer), general typing speed alone will not secure your name in the final selection merit list.
Candidates are subjected to a rigorous practical evaluation of Judicial Document Typography and Page Formatting. Even a minor margin error, an uneven paragraph indent, or an improperly aligned party title will cause the examination evaluation engine to deduct 0.5 to 1.0 mark per defect. Here is the definitive, zero-penalty formatting blueprint.
The 4 Pillars of Standard Judicial Document Layout
| Document Element | Technical Grid Alignment | Indentation & Line Height |
|---|---|---|
| Court Top Heading | Center Aligned | Bold, Capital Letters, 1.15 line spacing |
| Case Classification & Year | Center Aligned | e.g. CRIMINAL REVISION NO. 1024 OF 2026 |
| Cause Title Parties | Tab-Aligned Right & Left | Party names on Left; ...Applicant tabbed to Right Margin |
| Substantive Paragraphs | Justified Alignment | 0.5-inch First Line Hanging Indent; 1.5 Line Spacing |
| Statutory Quotations | Double Block Indented | 0.5-inch indent from BOTH Left and Right margins; Single Spacing |
