Employer Is Obligated To Furnish Reasons For Not Filling-Up Vacant Govt Posts : Tripura High Court

Live Law  

The Tripura High Court on Tuesday noted that while its jurisdiction to direct the State Government to fill vacant posts is limited, the government is nonetheless obligated to provide reasons for leaving these posts unfilled within its departments. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that considering the length of service, the petitioner has now become eligible to be promoted to the post of Deputy Superintendent under the Home Jail Department, Government of Tripura. The Court said the department cannot sit on the representation made by the petitioner on her promotion and instead has to provide the reasons for not filling up the underlying vacant posts. The petitioner is otherwise eligible to be considered for promotion to the post of Deputy Superintendent under Home Jail Department, Government of Tripura, as she has been serving as Female Jailor for the last 12 years. Accordingly, the Court directed “the respondents to apply their judicious mind as regards consideration of promotion of the petitioner to the post of Deputy Superintendent under Home Jail Department, Government of Tripura, in accordance with rules.
