CAT directs J&K to examine regularisation of 12 forest employees
The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Srinagar Bench, has directed the Jammu and Kashmir government to examine the regularisation claims of 12 Rehbar-e-Janglaat employees within eight weeks. The employees completed five years of service in 2022 and have been awaiting regularisation under the government's 2017 policy.
The Tribunal asked authorities to consider the claims under Government Order No. 155-FST of 2017 and the Supreme Court judgment in Rupesh R. Gaonkar versus State of Goa. It noted the creation of 333 Forest Guard posts in 2017 and adjustment of 234 supernumerary posts in 2021 as relevant. The CAT did not order immediate regularisation but directed a reasoned decision on eligibility.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets provided identical wire copy from Kashmir News Service, making this uniform straight reporting. The coverage is neutral and factual, focusing on the CAT's direction without editorial slant. The story emphasises the procedural nature of the order, noting that regularisation depends on eligibility checks, not an automatic grant. This leaves the next step with the J&K government, which must issue a reasoned decision within eight weeks.
