CHENNAI: Contending that delay in not giving appointment order after due selection constituted a violation of the Constitutional rights, a woman in her writ plea has sought the Madras High Court to issue a direction to State authorities to appoint her as a revenue assistant. In her petition, S Aruna (38), of Sivaganga said she appeared for the Combined Subordinate Service Examination-I 2009 conducted by the TN Public Service Commission (TNPSC). After getting through in the examination, her name was listed for the post of revenue assistant in Pudukottai on the selection list. “It was announced on October 7, this year, that in pursuant to the said selection, necessary posting will be given,” the petitioner argued. Till date, however, no communication about the appointment order was issued. When the State government and the TNPSC was contacted, the petitioner was informed that an enquiry was on related to some alleged malpractices in respect of certain posts and Group-I selections. “Based on the enquiry’s outcome, we were told that we will be informed about our placements.”The said enquiry and the allegations had nothing to do with the appointment process for subordinate services, she contended. The government and the TNPSC were bound to issue the appointment order based on selection without any delay. The conduct of the respondents were in violation of the basic constitutional rights found in Articles 14 and 21 guaranteed to the petitioner to get a government job, she argued.Before admitting the plea, Justice K Suguna ordered notice to respondents (State chief secretary, secretary, personnel and Administrative Reforms Department and the secretary, TNPSC) returnable by 4 weeks.
