Shimla, Dec 17 (UNI) The High Court of Himachal Pradesh has quashed the Director of Health Services (DHS)’ order revoking the appointment of a staff nurse hired three years ago.
The DHS’ order stated that she was not eligible to be considered for appointment, as the recruitment was for the 2011 batch. On the other hand, Nurse Kajal Mehra graduated in 2014. She was recruited on a contract basis in the OBC-BPL category.
The Selection Committee, after taking note of her educational qualification certificates, recommended her name for appointment to the post of staff nurse, vide office order dated March 16, 2022.
