CORAM : SUNIL B. SHUKRE AND ANIL S. KILOR, JJ.
DATED: 08.09.2021
1.Heard Shri Rajat Kumar Maheshwari, learned
counsel for the petitioner.
2.The grievance of the petitioner is that although, he
has completed the specialized training programmes in
the field of Disaster Management and although he is
desirous of being considered for his appointment to
different posts available with respondent No.4, by
following regular selection process, no opportunity is
being made available to a candidate like the petitioner
and also several other similarly situated candidates. The
petitioner has therefore, sought the following reliefs :-
(i)Direct the respondents to constitute a
committee to look into the matter of direct
absorption of candidtes having qualification in the
field of disaster management;
2 W.P.No.3427.2021
(ii)Direct the respondent to issue appropriate
guidelines carving out categories of posts in which
new aspirants like petitioner can directly be
recruited through competitive exams;
3.There is a communication dated 19.03.2021,
which appears to be a reply given to the petitioner in
order to address his concern. It shows that there is
already in existence a policy for filling up some posts by
following the recruitment process i.e. by publishing of an
advertisement in the employment news and uploading
the vacancy circular on the National Disaster
Management Authority(NDMA) website and so on and
so forth. It further shows that according to this policy,
the regular posts of NDMA are also filled up by posting of
cadre officers from Central Secretarial Service Cadre or
Central Secretarial Stenographer Service or Central
Secretarial Official Language Service by department of
Personnel and Training of Ministry of Home Affairs or by
way of deputation.
4.So, the grievance of the petitioner is adequately
redressed by the communication dated 19.03.2021 and
thus, we find no merit in the petition. The writ petition
stands dismissed. No costs.
