Important Note – Supreme Court Order
The notice also refers to a significant legal directive from the Supreme Court:
In compliance with the writ petition No. 078-WO-0662 and others, the Supreme Court issued a mandamus order on 2079/10/24 (February 7, 2023). As per that order, after making necessary legal arrangements regarding inclusive groups, the vacancies that were effectively left unfilled in FY 2079/80 due to the non-inclusion of proportionate inclusive quotas will be compensated as per the law. For now, recruitment will proceed according to existing laws.
In simpler terms:
- Previously, some inclusive groups lost out on their rightful quota due to improper implementation.
- Now, following the Supreme Court’s order, additional posts have been added to compensate for that loss.
- The recruitment process will continue as per current laws.
