| HC quashes select list of 900 wireless operators | | Appointees in service for over three years | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, May 15 : A single Bench of Jammu and Kashmir High Court has quashed selection list of nearly 900 wireless operators in state Police Telecommunications and directed the respondents to reframe the list strictly in accordance with rules.
While quashing the list on a petition filed by aggrieved candidates, the single bench of the court comprising Justice Hasnain Massodi observed that the advertisement notice was not tailored in accordance with rules as it neither mentioned number of posts to be filled up with district wise breakup nor did it inform the candidates of the selection at district level.
"Had recruitment been intended to be made district wise, respondents would have maintained District wise Roaster in compliance of Rule 5 of reservation Rules 2005," the court said.
The court asked the respondents to reframe the list in order of merit against 1126 posts proposed to be filled up on finalization of selection process initiated vide an advertisement notice 9 of March 2007.
"Selection and appointment of such of the private respondents, who find place in the reframed select list and having regard to their place in the merit list and the number of vacancies to be filled up, make grade for their appointment, shall remain intact and undisturbed," the court said, asking the respondents to complete the exercise within four weeks from the date the respondents receive the copy of the judgment.
The court also rejected the argument by respondents that it would be too harsh to set-aside Select List as the appointees have already worked for last at-least three years, saying it must not influence the Court to legitimize an unfair selection that smells of favoritism. |
