KAS selection process Excelsior Legal Correspondent JAMMU, Nov 3: Justice T S Doabia of the State High Court has disposed off the batch of writ petitions challenging the selection process of 266 selected candidates for Kashmir Administrative Service (KAS), with the direction to the State Government to consider the cases of those petitioners who are next in the merit after completing the process of determination of ratio proportion of direct recruits and promotees. In his 22 page judgment, Justice Doabia observed that the State would take decision in this regard in the light of the judgment delivered by the Supreme Court in the case of Suraj Parkash versus J&K State by January 31, 2001. The Justice further observed that nothing is being said regarding the probe by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in this matter as already an appeal has been preferred by the State and whatever directions are given by the Division Bench in this regard, would naturally abide the events. Justice Doabia further observed that the State would accordingly determine the figure which was meant for promotees and that which should have been done to the direct recruits. " In case the promotees were occupying more position than they were eligible on September 14, 1995, the date on which the notification was issued, then the remedial measures have to be taken by the State Government and vacancies which would become available after this process, are to go to those who are next in the merit in the selection process which was initiated in pursuance to the notification. " In this regard, it would be apt to mention that the Counsel for the State has urged that this observation should not be made in this judgment. All that he wants there should be an academic decision in this issue and that no further relief should be granted to the petitioners. However, this argument of the State cannot be accepted", the Court held. It said said if injustice has occurred to any of the parties and if the ratio proportion which was available to the direct recruits was more than what was notified on September 14, 1995, then that error has to be rectified and only way to do justice is to offer those posts to the candidates next who were in the merit list, the court further said. The Justice observed that in case of any practical reason if it was not possible to take the decision by January 31, next year, then the respondents would be at liberty to seek extension of time but in that eventuality, they will have to produce the office file and indicate as to what steps were taken in the months of November, December, 2000 and January next year. " All that is required to be done is to collect the data which is already available with the State and find out the correct ratio proportion. This is only a mathematical calculation and three months are more than sufficient fore this purpose", the court said. It rejected the plea of the petitioners— Mir Tariq Ali, M K Raina, Noman Thakur and Sheikh Fiaz Ahmad on the ground that they have not been appointed to KAS. Advocates D S Thakur, V G Gupta, N Kotwal and P S Dutta appeared for the petitioners while’s J P Singh appeared for the State and D C Raina for Public Service Commission. D S Chouhan appeared for Advocate General. |

HC stays appointments in Forest Protection Force Excelsior Legal Correspondent JAMMU, Nov 3: The stayed High Court has stayed the operation of the Government order by which 43 candidates have been appointed as Assistant Directors in the Forest Protection Force. While staying the operation of the Forest order, the Court directed the State of Jammu and Kashmir through Commissioner-cum-Secretary Forest Department and Director Forest Protection Force to ensure that no work will be undertaken from the 43 private respondents. They will also not be paid any wages unless ordered otherwise by the Court, it was ordered. While issuing the stay orders, the court also issued notices to the respondents returnable for December 18, 2000 in the writ petition as well as in the connected CMP . Five petitioners— Amit Sharma, Punit Choudhary, Vishal Mahajan, Niten Verma and Ajay Sharma had challenged the Forest order on the grounds that the same were illegal in nature. The counsel for the petitioners, Parmod Kohli during the course of arguments said that 43 candidates (private respondents) have been appointed as Assistant Directors by means of the Government order number 441-FST of 2000 dated October 23, 2000 without calling for any application from all eligible candidates, thereby appointing the aforesaid respondents on adhoc basis. According to him, even if the appointments were to be made on adhoc basis and there was urgency, still some fair and reasonable criteria should have been adopted so that all eligible candidates, like the petitioners, could have also applied. Least that could have been done was to invite applications in the leading news papers, it was argued. The petitioners’ counsel further said that instead of resorting to such a method, the candidates were appointed in a " clandestine" manner to give out of way benefit to them. He prayed for quashing of the order whereby the respondents have been appointed as Assistant Directors in the Forest Protection Force. |
