Hindu front - AASU , BJP , AGP and their many allies are going mad on the appointment of police constables

HC suspends constable appointment
GUWAHATI, Feb 8: The Gauhati High Court today suspended the appointment orders and appointment certificates issued by the Government for posts of police constables, while, on the other hand, the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) has demanded a judicial probe by a sitting Judge of the High Court into the process of selection of candidates for the posts. Justice IA Ansari of the High Court, in response to a petition filed by Debojit Bhattacharya and nine others, said that no appointment should be made to the posts of constables in pursuant to the advertisement dated August 21, 2004 without following the due procedure for selection prescribed in the advertisement and without publication of the results. The court order said that if any appointment orders were issued in the meantime, those would be suspended. No appointment certificate in terms of rule 30 of the Assam Police Manual should be issued to anyone without appointments made in terms of the advertisement and if any appointment certificate is issued, those should be suspended forthwith.

The order further said that the Government should not destroy or damage any records of the selection process without leave of the court.

The counsel for the petitioners, BD Konwar told newsmen that the Government issued advertisements for filling up posts of 5486 police constables on August 21 last year and more than seven lakh candidates appeared in the tests conducted in 55 centres all over the state. He pointed out that as per the terms of selection mentioned in the advertisement, the Government should have published the results of the tests in the major newspapers and the same should also have been made available in the offices of the Deputy Commissioners, Superintendents of

Police and Commandants of the Police battalions. But on January 20 this year, the Commissioner of Home and Political Department of the State Government wrote a letter to the Director General of Police and Inspector General of Police asking them to issue appointment certificates to the selected candidates by January 31. He said that the Government issued appointment certificates to selected candidates without publishing the results of the tests in major newspapers, thus violating the terms of selection mentioned in the advertisement for the posts.

Konwar said that in the petition, it was pointed out that the rules of selection were violated and the intervention of the court was sought for publication of the results of the tests before the appointment letters are issued. The petitioners also sought the intervention of the court for preservation of the records relating to the selection process as in one such case in 2000, the records of the tests were destroyed.

Meanwhile, the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) today demanded that the Government should immediately order a judicial probe by a sitting Judge of the High Court into the entire process of selection of candidates for the posts of police constables and warned that Assam would burn if deserving candidates are deprived. The AASU has decided to bring out torch light processions all over the State on February 11 and threatened to launch a vigorous movement in protest against the irregularities in the process of selection of police constables.

Talking to mediapersons here today, AASU president Prabin Boro said that Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has failed on all fronts and by depriving deserving candidates for posts of police constables, the Government once again allowed the state to burn. He said that the Chief Minister has no control over the members of his Council of Ministers and bureaucrats. He alleged that the Congress Government in the state was working against the interests of the indigenous people of Assam and even in the process of selection of candidates for posts of police constables, the indigenous youths were deprived.

AASU adviser Samujjal Bhattacharya said that even members of the ruling party alleged irregularities in the selection process. He said that the Government would be solely responsible for the consequences for the irregularities.

Bhattacharya said that the Government did not try to clear the backlog of vacancies for the scheduled tribes and scheduled castes during the appointment process and the selection was made only keeping in view the vote bank of the ruling party. He said that common people are openly blaming two Ministers-Rockybul Hussain and Himanta Biswa Sarma for the irregularities but the Chief Minister just remained a silent spectator.
