Niab Tehsildar aspirants' wait likely to prolong
SSB files reply before court, waiting for outcome
Early Times Report
Jammu, July 4: It seems that wait of aspirants, who had
appeared in the written test for the posts of Niab-Tehsildar, is going to
prolong further as the court is yet to give its verdict on the reply filed by
Service Selection Board.
Pertinently, a total 75,000 candidates had appeared in
the written test for a total of 125 posts of naib-tehsildar, which was held on
April 29.
Soon after the written test, a candidate had secured
stay from High Court in the first week of May. As per his counsel, the
aggrieved aspirant was originally asked to appear the test at 1 pm at
Nusrat-ul-Islam High School in Anantnag but when he had reached the examination
center, he found that his centre was changed to SKM College Pulwama, which was
40 kilometres away. The court had directed the secretary SSB to appear before
it on May 7 and produce the examination records.
Secretary of the Jammu and Kashmir Service Selection
Board Ghulam Hassan Sheikh said that during his personal appearance before the
court, he had pleaded the case.
"The court had asked SSB to file a formal reply
over the case filed by an aspirant. We had filed the reply to the court, couple
of weeks earlier", Sheikh said, adding that the further course of action
would be taken by the JKSSB as per the outcome of case.
Sources informed Early Times that even if the outcome
would come in favour of SSB, it would take over two months, to finalize the
result of written test and complete other formalities. "At present whole
process has been halted as per the directions of High Court.
Moreover, the
Board is also headless and it depends on the new Chairman, whether the pace
maintained by JKSSB in last few months would be maintained or not", an
insider said, adding that the outgoing chairman had almost cleared the pendency
of vacancies but his sudden transfer, has shattered the hopes of hundreds of
aspirants, to fast track the process.
