Madras High Court tells Puducherry government to strictly adhere to rules while making appointments

After having been satisfied with the submission of the government advocate that no such appointment was made and that the rules and regulations governing the appointments were strictly followed, the judge disposed of the petition with certain directions.

The judge directed the authorities concerned to follow the procedures as contemplated and the rules in force as the case may be, even for the engagement of temporary employees and labourers for implementing the government projects, in government departments, institutions or societies or in government organisations.

In the event of filling up the regular sanctioned post, then the recruitment rules as applicable are to be followed scrupulously and selection must be conducted in a transparent manner and by affording equal opportunity to all the eligible candidates through an open competitive process.

The authorities shall follow the recruitment rules/established procedures for recruitment through an open competitive process or through Employment Exchange even in public sector undertakings under the Union Territory of Puducherry.
