| PSC takes a dig at Govt departments for adhocism | | | Bashir Assad
SRINAGAR, Mar 12: The Jammu and Kashmir State Public Service Commission has taken strong exception to the adhoc appointments being made by the Government departments and has asked for curbing the adhocism and adhere to the rules strictly.
In its 56th Annual report for the year 2012-13, the PSC has said that the adhocism needs to be curbed and rules strictly adhered to. It said even while making adhoc appointments, which should normally be avoided, it has been observed that the concerned departments do not observe rules strictly; use pick and choose methods; and do not adhere to the quota for promotion, thus causing hardships to the deserving and eligible candidates. The PSC report observed that any departure in adhering to the quota, while making adhoc promotions and direct recruitment may create imbalances in the service leading to violation of Supreme Court directive in the Suraj Prakash Vs State Judgment. The Commission also recommends that the concerned administrative Secretaries be held accountable for strict compliance with the provisions of SRO-166 of 2005. It said if the provisions of SRO-166 are implemented in letter and spirit, the need for adhoc arrangements will not arise.
The report further said in case any adhoc arrangement become inevitable, the Administrative department may consult the Commission with the request to recommend candidates strictly as per the merit from amongst the candidates in the waiting list or on the basis of merit wherever the waiting list is not prepared in respect of any selection as the merit list of the Commission is prepared after taking into consideration all relevant factors. It said such arrangements shall continue only till the regular selection is made after notifying the posts through the Public Service Commission for selection. The report said this will obviate the process of making selection by various committees at different levels and minimize delays which is inherent in such localized selection by committees which have invariably no expertise in such matters.
The report also observed that the Administrative departments should adhere to the schedule for referring vacancies, at the end of the year in respect of direct recruitment quota and at the beginning and middle of the year for promotion quota to the PSC taking due care of quota as per recruitment rules of the service at regular intervals; and avoid making piecemeal reference of vacancies and the related information. The Commission also recommended that all the Government Departments be directed to comply strictly with the directions contained in the SRO-166 of 2005, including the timely completion of APRs, issuance and updating of seniority lists, updating of schedules to the recruitment rules as well as the nomination of Nodal officers from each department who will be duly trained to ensure compliance with these recruitments to bring to the notice of the concerned Administrative Secretary, instance of slackness, if any, in adhering to the provisions of SRO-166. |
