There were a total of 41 posts pending for induction of JKAS officers into IAS, sources said, adding all posts will be filled up after induction of 24 JKAS officers.
“One post is still under dispute as fate of a JKAS officer has been sealed in sealed cover as he was facing an inquiry,” sources said.
