Gauhati HC Directs Govt To Reconsider Case Of Candidates With Experience As Home Guards, SPOs In 2017 Recruitment For Constables Under Assam Industrial Security Force
Live LawThe Gauhati High Court recently directed the Assam Government to reconsider the case of candidates who had previous experience as Home Guards and then Special Police Officers for the recruitment process of Constables under the Assam Industrial Security Force in 2017, by allotting two marks for such certificates wherein the period of service either as Home Guards or SPOs has not been specified in the respective certificates. The Court was hearing a bunch of writ petitions in connection with a recruitment process of 2017 for filling up the post of Constables under the Assam Industrial Security Force. It was further observed by the Court that there is a general consensus amongst the counsel for the parties that the practice of allotting two marks for certificates wherein the duration of service has not been specified, as done in the district of Kokrajhar can be taken as standard marking and accordingly a review exercise be made so far as the case of the petitioners is concerned. Thus, the Court directed the State Government to reconsider the cases of the petitioners for the said recruitment by allotting them two marks for such certificates wherein the period of service either as Home Guards or SPOs has not been specified in the respective certificates.
