Some Zila Parishads/Panchayat Samities pointed out the irregularities and illegalities in the appointments and therefore, the appointments were examined at the Government level and it was found that the selection committee had committed vide spread mischief which was all pervasive and had benefited unlawfully certain candidates and wrongfully deprived the legitimate candidate on their due rights. There was evidence that the applications of the candidates who was either did not apply or sent the applications under registered post by the due date were entertained and selected. Therefore, whole of the selection smacks of arbitrariness. Under the provisions of the persons with disabilities (Equal opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, 1% posts each for the categories of blind, deaf and dumb or orthopaedically handicap persons were required to be filled in. However, the provisions of the Act were not adhered to while issuing the advertisement and also making the appoints.
CLERKS:
In the case of Clerks, 9 posts had been advertised whereas 27 candidates have been selected and appointed. In this way, 18 candidates have been appointed in excess of the quota meant for handicapped persons. Besides only 3 posts fell to the share of orthopaedically handicap persons whereas 26 candidates were appointed out of the category of orthopaedically handicapped. Only 1 candidate belongs to the category of deaf and dumb.
The application of Prem Masih is unsigned. The date of demand draft has been mentioned but no number of the demand draft has been given. In the case of Gurinderbir Singh, the particulars of demand draft have not been given and the column has been kept blank which goes to show that he applied without bank draft. Moreover, the application does not bear any date. This leads to the conclusion that the application was entertained after the last date. Hakam Singh was appointed as a Clerk. He is matric 3rd division as he secured compartment in 10+2. Therefore, he did not fulfill the requisite qualifications even. Pawan Kumar was over age, his date of birth being 22.3.1961. In the case of Ranjit Kaur, a cutting was made against the post for which she applied and after rubbing the name of the original post, the post of Clerk was inserted which is in a different handwriting. The application of Gurmukh Singh was entertained after the last date, as the date of bank draft is whereas the last date was 17.9.2001. In the case of Ram Singh, in the application the date originally mentioned seems to be 19.9.2001 and the figure 9 has been changed to 'O' so as to make the application dated 10.9.2001. In the case of Manjit Kumar, Gurmeet Singh, Kuldeep Singh, Subhash Kumar and Satinder Bir Singh, the date of bank draft is 17.9.2001. The applications were required to be sent under registered post and under no circumstances the applications could have reached on or before 17.9.2001, which goes to show that the applications were entertained after 17.9.2001. In the case of Deepak Jindal, the date of bank draft is 23.6.2001 whereas the posts were advertised on 8.9.2001. Therefore, the bank draft, which was submitted by him while applying under the general category candidates was attached with the application because the post was advertised on 8.9.2001 and which clearly goes to show that he did not apply against the advertisement dated 8.9.2001. In the advertisement, it was specifically mentioned that the candidates would have to pass the type test at the prescribed speed. Although, in the case of some candidates the type test papers are available in the record, but they have not been marked. In fact none of the candidates passed the type test at the speed of 30 WPM. A note to this effect has been given by the Chairman of the Selection Committee himself that majority of the candidates could not pass the type test as per the condition in the advertisement. A merit list of 27 Clerks has been prepared 8 candidates have secured 64 or above marks and the remaining 19 candidates have secured 63 marks each. Out of the 8 candidates who have secured 64 or above marks, 5 candidates on the face of it are tainted candidates, 3 candidates are those who secured 64 or above marks whereas only 9 appointments were to be made. Therefore, under these circumstances, it is not clear that the deserving candidates had been ignored and undeserving candidates have been benefited. Therefore, it is not possible to separate the grain from the chaff.
