AGARTALA, March 6 (TIWN): In another jolt for the BJP led State Govt in Tripura Supreme Court of India has upheld Tripura High Court’s verdict and terminated 5 APPs who were illegally recruited by the BJP Govt.

After the verdict, senior Advocate Purushottom Roy Barman has expressed his surprise over BJP Govt’s attitude against the law and constitution and how a Govt can claim that it can recruit anyone in AAP post without proper examinations and scores ? Barman said, this is just example of BJP Govt’s dictatorship.

Earlier, in a division bench of Chief Justice A.A.Kureshi and Justice Arindam Lodh in High Court had cancelled the advertisement of APP recruitment in Udaipur Lower Court, Gomati District. The verdict says that the advertisement is illegal and unlawful. The judgement said that no Govt can violate the procedures of recruitment while appointing the APP and Govt can not do as it wishes. The two petitioners will be now appointed within 2 months by the Govt under High Court’s order. In last May month, Gomati District DM published an advertisement for recruitment and accordingly various lawyers appealed for the post and a selection list was made after interviews. In the list, lawyer Pakhi Dey and Joyesh Dey scored highest but didn’t get jobs.

In reply, State Govt strangely said that State Govt doesn’t need to follow any guideline for recruitment. We argued, under Article 14 Govt does not have any right to do according to its wish and Govt has to be transparent in recruitment. High Court accepted our point and cancelled recruitment of 5 advocates and asked to recruit these 2 petitioners within 2 months.

Challenging the verdict, Tripura Govt appealed in Supreme Court but lost face again, as Supreme Court said the points shown by Tripura High Court, there is no point remained to be disputed.
