Only migrants, not non-Kashmiri migrants entitled for any selection under PM Package for return, rehab: J&K HC

Jammu, Oct 22 (UNI) In a landmark judgment, Justice Ali Mohammad Magrey on Tuesday held that non-Kashmiri migrants cannot claim any right to consideration for selection and appointment against posts created from time to time in the Valley under the Prime Minister's Special Package for return and rehabilitation of Kashmiri Migrants to the Valley and rehabilitation of the Kashmiri Pandits who have stayed back in the Valley.
This significant direction has been passed in a petition challenging the three advertisement notifications in this petition, fundamentally, on two grounds: first that for the post of MVI the Jammu and Kashmir Transport Controller's (Subordinate) Service Recruitment Rules, 1974 (1974 Rules), apart from the requisite qualifications mentioned therein, prescribe a working experience at least of one year in a reputed automobile workshop and possession of a driving licence authorizing to drive motor cycle, heavy goods vehicles and heavy passenger motor vehicles; second that as per the aforesaid 1974 Rules there is no post of Sub-MVI or Assistant MVI existing in the department.
On these two counts, the petitioners have sought quashing of the advertisement notices.
