A two-member CAT bench has stayed the operation of the relevant provisions of the Jammu and Kashmir Revenue (Subordinate) Service Recruitment Rules of 2009, insofar as they mandate graduation with knowledge of Urdu as the minimum qualification for the post of Naib Tehsildar.
The earlier order mandating Urdu as a compulsory language for the Naib Tehsildar recruitment examination sparked outrage in the Jammu region over the past one month with the BJP leading the protests and rallies, seeking revocation of the “discriminatory order”.
