Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 31: Justice Ali Mohammad Magrey today dismissed the petition filed by Abdul Wahid Khan and another, who claim to have applied for the post of Principal, SKIMS Medical College, Srinagar, as put to advertisement in terms of Advertisement Notice No 01 of 2021 dated 7th of January, 2021, is that the selection process for the aforesaid post is being carried on by the Respondents in violation of the mandate of recruitment rules governing the subject as well as against the scope of Clauses (b) and (c) prescribed in the Advertisement Notice.
While dismissing the petition, Justice Ali Mohammad Magrey after hearing both the sides observed that The Respondents are on record to make it clear that due adherence is made to the mandate of the recruitment rules in the entire process of selection, which are the primary and basic source for making selection against the post of Principal, SKIMS Medical College & Hospital, Bemina. Besides, the Respondents have also produced the relevant records before the Court, which, on perusal, too, substantiate the stand taken by the Respondents that they are strictly following the mandate of the rules governing the field while taking the process of selection to its logical conclusion. Given this position, there is hardly any scope left for the Court to go deep into the matter while exercising jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. In that view of the matter and without making any further observations or recording any finding at this stage, which may otherwise prejudice the cause of either of the parties on culmination of the process of Selection, the Court is unable to accept the contentions of the petitioners qua violation of the mandate of the relevant recruitment rules on the part of the Respondents in the ongoing process of selection against the post of Principal, SKIMS, Medical College & Hospital, Bemina. —JNF |
