| HC dismisses petitions challenging ATOs' selection | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 7: The J&K High Court has dismissed a bunch of petitions challenging selection for the posts of Assistant Tourist Officers (ATOs).
Justice Sanjeev Kumar dismissed the petitions with the observations that question of eligibility of two candidates-Basharat Hussain, who was selected under ALC category, and Amir Maqbool who being next in order of merit-is placed in the wait list. The petitioner, Manoj Kumar, had challenged the selection of Basharat and placement of Amir in the wait list.
"It is not in dispute and is, otherwise, clearly borne out from the record that Basharat Hussain is a graduate and therefore, fulfils the basic eligibility of qualification. Whether he had the adequate knowledge of history, geography of the state and foreign language or not, is a question which cannot be determined by this court," the court observed.
"There was objective type written test conducted by the respondents which contained a wide range of questions good enough to test the knowledge of the candidate in the field of history, geography, foreign language and tourism and travel etc. The shortlisted candidates were also subjected to viva vice, where also there was ample opportunity for the Interview Committee to test such knowledge of the candidates. The grievance of the petitioners that respondent could not have considered the BA qualification of respondent No.6 Basharat Hussain acquired from the IGNOU through distance mode is not substantiated by any material brought on record or through persuasion supported by logic," the court added. |
