The Public Service Commission got clean chit by the Supreme Court to take written examinations for various positions (open and inclusive categories) for the local level governments.
On response to the direction of the State Affairs and Good Governance Committee of the Federal Parliament to stop the PSC from taking examinations for the vacancy it has announced for more than 9,000 positions in 515 local levels across the country, a single bench of Justice Pursottam Bhandari denied issuing an order, on Wednesday
It has however sought a written response about whether the vacancy announcement for various posts is inclusive. The order came in response to a writ filed by advocate Bikash Kumar Thakur on June 10, arguing that the vacancy announcement was against the spirit of the Constitution.
About 90, 000 applicants have filed applications for government job published by PSC on May 29.
