The Allahabad High Court has stayed the declaration of results for the recruitment of security officers in Allahabad University till the next date of hearing.
A Single Bench of Justice Saumitra Dayal Singh passed this order while hearing a petition filed by Ambuj Kumar Mishra.
Submission of the counsel for the petitioner, in absence of any higher/statutory law, never became open to the University to alter mode and method of the examination by introducing the subjective questionnaire though in the original advertisement, it was clearly indicated that only objective type questions would be put to the candidates.
Second, the objection is, intimation of change of examination pattern was given merely seven days before conduct of the examination.
The Court observed that the matter requires consideration.
“Counsel for the University may serve a copy of the counter affidavit upon counsel for the petitioner by 2 January, 2023. Rejoinder affidavit may be filed on the next date with prior service to the counsel for the University.
Till the next date of listing, the result of selection on the post of Security Officer may not be declared”, the order reads.
The Court has fixed the next hearing of the petition on January 10, 2023.
