The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has asked the J&K Service Selection Board (JKSSB) not to issue the final selection list of 1700 posts in various departments till July 4.
The Board had on December 16, 2020, issued a notification, inviting applications for filling up the posts in the departments of Transport, Labour & Employment, Culture, Election, Tribunal Affairs and Finance.
The written tests for the posts were held in January this year and the result was declared on March 19.

Seeking a response to a plea by some aggrieved candidates against the procedure of selection, a bench of D S Mahra (J) and Anand Mathur (A) barred the Board from issuing the list till the next date of hearing on July 4.
“It is made clear that the final Selection List will not be issued till the next date of hearing,” the bench said and asked JKSSB to file a counter within three weeks. “Rejoinder, if any, may be filed within one week thereafter,” the Bench said.
The Bench passed the directions after hearing senior Advocate Azhar Ul Amin on behalf of the aggrieved candidates and advocate Bikram Deep Singh, counsel for JKSSB.
In his arguments, Azhar Ul Amin said that just a few days before the written test was to be held, the JKSSB issued a notification on January 19 this year, stating that the “normalization process” would be followed while deciding the merit position.
