Srinagar, Feb 27 : The Jammu and Kashmir High Court today stayed the selection list of Junior Engineers (Civil) issued by the Service Selection Board.
Justice Hasnain Masoodi after hearing senior counsel Z A Shah on behalf of 10 non selected candidates, issued notice to the respondents and stayed the selection list.
“In the meantime and subject to objections selection made shall not be acted upon”, Justice Masoodi directed and issued notice to Chairman SSRB and Commissioner Secretary PWD.
Earlier, the petitioners submitted that being eligible they responded to the advertisement notices of the SSRB and they were also interviewed in respect of the JE post but surprisingly were not shown in the select list.
They are aggrieved of the criteria notified by the respondents which is unconstitutional and their exclusion is only because the way criteria has been adopted and applied by the respondent board in the selection.
Petitioners prayed for quashment of criteria adopted by the board for the post of JE as notified in the notice dated 10.5.2014 and sought fresh selection list of candidates for the post of JE(Civil).
