O R D E R
Shri Ram Mohan Johri, Administrative Member Heard learned counsel for the parties for some time.
2. The applicant is aggrieved of the failure of the respondents to issue his appointment order despite his selection in the ST-2 category against the post reserved for visually impaired candidates pursuant to Advertisement Notice No. 03 of 2025 dated 24.04.2025, particularly when the other selected candidates are stated to have been appointed. The applicant has also called in question Notice No. CMO/P/3128/32 dated 24.06.2026 and Notice No. CMO/P/456-60 dated 06.07.2026 issued by respondent No. 4 pursuant to a complaint lodged by respondent No. 7 regarding the genuineness of his disability certificate.
3. It is contended on behalf of the applicant that respondent No. 7 is a stranger to the selection process and does not belong to the category against which the applicant was selected. It is further submitted that, pursuant to the complaint, the matter was referred by the Jal Shakti Department to the Chief Medical Officer, Poonch, for verification of the disability certificate issued in favour of the applicant.
4. Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and without expressing any opinion on the merits
