Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Sept 5: Division Bench of State High Court comprising Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar and Justice BS Walia has dismissed the appeal challenging the process for selection of teachers for the districts of Jammu, Samba, Kathua, Rajouri and Udhampur with the direction to the Service Selection Recruitment Board to go ahead and conclude selection process at the earliest.
“The reference to un-amended Rule-14 would not change the fate of the appellants/writ petitioners as the finding recorded by the Writ Court after perusal of the record is that they did not reach to the cut off merit”, the DB observed, adding “Writ Court has also recorded finding that the candidates have been called in the ratio of 1:5 for interview”.
“All the candidates, who participate in a selection process, feel that he/she is the best meritorious candidate to be selected. All the candidates were subjected to a uniform test for being short listed. The meritorious candidates in the ratio of 1:5, secured berth in short-list. No accusing finger is raised in the writ petition about conducting of the test for short listing of candidates”, the DB further said while dismissing the appeal.
