Appointment of senior stenographer quashed Excelsior Correspondent JAMMU, Dec 8: Mr Justice O P Sharma of the State High Court Jammu Wing has quashed the promotion of one Abdul Majid Malik Senior Assistant who was promoted to the post of Senior Stenographer (PA to Director) and directed the, Director State Motor Garages and others to fill up the vacancies either by direct recruitment or by promotion, provided all those eligible possess the qualification required for ths post are given the opportunity to compete with each other. While allowing the petition, Mr Justice Sharma observed that the petitioners are Head Assistants of the Directorate of State Motor Garages and challanged the order dated 22-7-1995 issued by the Director State Motor Garages in which Abdul Majid Malik has been promoted to the post of Senior Scale Stenographer from the post of Senior Assistant. Senior Advocate S S Lehar alongwith Advocate C S Azad appearing for the petitioners argued that the order has been passed in a most arbitrary manner because the then Director State Motor Garages who was about to demit office on supernation by the end of July, 1995. It is however unfortunate that petitioners Jagan Nath and Suraj Parkash have retired during the pendency of the writ petition and consequently have post any opportunity to compete for the spot with other eligible candidates. However, the other two petitioners Tilk Raj and Sardari Lal are still available and in case the respondents decide to fill up the vacancies from in service candidates, though it will be quite unusual in the absence of Recruitment Rules prescribing qualification and eligibility. However the post can be offered to the inservice candidates after prescribing the minimum qualification and by offering opportunity to every persons possessing such eligibility and holding such test as may be prescribed to select the post’’. Mr Justice O P Sharma further observed that it may be pointed out that the then Director State Motor Garages, Mr Riaz Ahmed Rather did hurry by convening the meeting of Department Promotion Committee of which he was the Chairman only to see that decks are cleared for appointment of Abdul Majid Malik before his retirement. It is an un-usual act where the Abdul Majid Malik was cleared for promotion in July 1995 which the post has to become available by the end of August, 1995. Inference in such a case is clear that the then Director wanted to conter undue benefit upon the Abdul Majid Malik and did succeeded in it because of the delay involved in disposal of the petition, Judge added. |
