for descriptive questions, evaluation, moderation or scrutiny, not random but 100%, declaration of

Group - F
Service conditions - promotion, seniority, pay fixation etc.
The responsibility to see that all the norms prescribed under the Rules/Regulations/Orders/Notification
are complied with is on the staff. Among the staff, the supervisory staff will have to scrutinize the work
done by the subordinates meticulously.
Group – A:
As far as matters mentioned in Group A are concerned though the rules, orders or notifications or
circulars, governing the recruitment are issued by the Government it will go a long way if the Public
Service Commission gets the same verified for removing any error/ambiguity before initiating recruitment.
Considering the high stakes involved for job seekers, the Govt. Orders etc. governing recruitment
must be free from defects. For example, Government Order or notification issued, may be exceeding
the authority conferred or there may not be any delegation at all or may be contrary to the Constitution
or the law laid down by the Supreme Court. Though the Supreme Court, has time and again, declared
that any reservation (vertical) beyond 50% of the posts to be filled up, is void, still we find reservations
(vertical) beyond 50% of the posts.
Group – B:
Matters covered by Group B cases also deserve the same meticulous attention. Notifications
issued by the Public Service Commission must be constitutionally valid and in consonance with relevant
Recruitment Rules. Percentage of reservation, categories of persons to be accommodated for, the
eligibility requirement etc. are also to be examined.
Before issuing notifications, there has to be proper scrutiny of the notifications and the reservation
positions, qualifications, etc., by a committee preferably headed by a person with adequate legal
knowledge.
