Srinagar: The High Court of JK and Ladakh on Thursday directed a High-Level Committee, constituted to review the functioning of the Jammu and Kashmir Service Selection Board (JKSSB), to submit its report within a period of ten days. Hearing a plea, a bench of Justice Moksha Khajuria Kazmi also directed JKSSB not to proceed with the selection process of various posts advertised by it.
The selection process has been halted till a final decision is taken by the government on the report/recommendations made by the High-Level Committee which was appointed to review the board’s functioning, court observed.
The Committee was constituted on April 22 to examine whether the process of tendering followed by JKSSB, in selecting M/S Aptech Ltd. to conduct the examinations, was consistent with the extant Financial Rules/Acts, and, if all the relevant norms were fully complied with.
“The Review Committee constituted in terms of Government Order No. 487-JK (GAD) of 2023 dated 22.04.2023, shall submit its report within a period of ten days from the date of passing of this judgment,” the court said.
