Anubhav Saini, a resident of Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, filed this petition. Saini said in his petition that the Staff Selection Board had published an advertisement for Sub Engineer posts in Group 3 on August 1, 2022. Following this, on August 4, 2023, the High Court had issued an interim order to stay appointments in 13 per cent of the posts advertised under the provision of additional 13 per cent quota for OBC candidates.
The petitioner says
The petitioner claims that this High Court order applies to all departments of the state government. However, the Water Resources, Panchayat and PHE Department and the MP Housing Board issued appointment orders in 13 per cent of the posts which were suspended by the High Court. It has been argued in the petition that this is contempt of court. Additional Chief Secretaries Rajesh Rajoura and Malay Srivastava, PHE Secretary JP Narhari, Water Resources Department Chief Engineer Shirish Mishra and MPHB Managing Director Chandramouli Shukla have been made accused in this case.
Justice Vinay Saraf’s court seeks a response
After the preliminary hearing, a bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva and Justice Vinay Saraf issued notices to all the accused and sought their responses. The petitioner’s counsel Anshul Tiwari said the High Court, in an interim order dated August 4, 2023, had asked to stay appointments to 13 per cent additional posts advertised under the provision of 13 per cent more quota for OBC candidates.
