Chalotra said that a complaint was received in SVO, wherein the complainants, who were aspirants for the posts of Class-IV employees in Education Department, Jammu alleged that their names were not considered against their categories and were instead shown in open merit in the selection list, due to which they could not be selected for the notified posts.
The complainants also alleged that Chief Education Officer, Jammu has deliberately kept 40 points for interview instead of 20 points and thus violated rules and regulations to confer undue benefit to the favorite candidates. They have accused the CEO of abusing his official position.
