“2. That whole of the proceedings held by the Commission are against the provisions
of JKPSC (Business & Procedure) Rules, 1980. It is only the Chairman of Commission
who acted in utter disgrace and flagrant violation of said Rules and not only confirmed
various proceedings of Commission pertaining to said selection on its own without having
approval or consent of other members.
The Commission consists of three members namely,
1. Professor B.K.Tiku
2. Dr. N.A.Jan and
3. Shri Bashir Ahmad Choudhry
Besides the aforesaid three members, the Chairman, namely, Mohd. Shafi Pandit has
to act as per the consent of said three members. As per Rule 5 of JKPSC (Business &
Procedure) Rules, 1980, the Chairman or a member of Commission is not supposed to
participate in selection for reasons of his close kinship with candidate. Shri Bashir Ahmed
Chaudhary, one of the Members of Commission was not entitled to participate in the
selection process. As per Rule 9 of said Rules, the decision at the meeting of Commission
could be taken in keeping with view of majority of members thereof. The Chairman can
cast vote in the case of tie only.”

the University and these should have been given a free hand, to go through these documents.
No reference books were provided to the Experts, as you cannot expect an expert to be
well versed in all relevant disciplines in a particular subject. Without having a text book/
reference books at his disposal, besides spelling mistakes, were not mostly taken into
consideration and due to confused questions, a lot of time was wasted with the result
candidates have complained regarding the loss of time and loss of concentration and
most of the candidates suffered on this account, with no fault of theirs and have not been
sufficiently compensated thereof.”
Similarly, in separate dissenting note, Prof. B.K.Tiku (Member Commission) raised
the following objections.
“It appears that in the present set up the style of functioning of the Hon’ble Chairman
smacks of authoritarianism and apparently it appears that a multi-dimensional Commission
is leading towards one-man Commission. Now, under the present circumstances, it
would be befitting that the Chairman may look himself after the business normally assigned
