Factors Affecting UP PCS J Vacancy 

The UP Judiciary is responsible for providing justice to the state's people, adjudicating their disputes, and ordering and enforcing their rights. 

As such, it is of utmost importance that the UP Judiciary is adequately staffed with the right number of judges.

Unfortunately, the vacancy rate for the UP Judiciary is relatively high, and several factors mentioned below affect it:

• High workload: The workload of the UP Judiciary is immense, and the number of cases is increasing. This has adversely affected the vacancy rate as the current judges cannot keep up with the demands of the court system. 
• Shortage of qualified candidates: The shortage of qualified candidates for the UP Judiciary significantly contributes to the high vacancy rate. The candidates must meet the legal qualifications and have field experience.
• Lack of infrastructure: The lack of proper infrastructure in the UP Judiciary has also led to a high vacancy rate. There are not enough courtrooms, chambers, and other facilities to accommodate many cases. 

Conclusion
