Compilation Vol 3 Corrected (1-943).pmd - Goa Public Service ...

17. To sum up, all the 377 candidates included in the select list published by the Commission shall
be appointed subject to verification in to the allegations about certain candidates furnishing false
certificates indicated in O.A.2174 (C)/98. Immediate action be taken for the medical examination of
those who had not been asked to appear before the Medical Board when it met. Forty unutilised
posts meant for S.T. out of the advertised vacancies shall be carried forward in accordance with
section 7 of the O.R.V. Act. But before any action is taken to dereserve those posts, the Commission
should be asked to conduct a special recruitment examination exclusively for that category as stipulated
in Section 9(4) of the O.R.V. Act.
18. Learned Standing Counsel submits that since the candidates are to be allotted to different
services and a common roster is not maintained for them it would be difficult to work out reservation
for them. The Departments concerned are expected to determine the no. of posts earmarked for each
category in their roster before reporting the vacancies to the G.A. Department. Before allotting a
candidate to some service the preference indicated by him and the availability of vacancies earmarked
for his category in that service are to be considered. If no such vacancy is available in the service for
which he has opted, then he would be allocated to some other service where such a vacancy is
available to adjust him according to the roster. If in the process a candidate who has opted for a
Class-II service is allotted to a specially declared Gazetted service like O.S.C.S. then he would be eligible
to compete for a Class-II service in the next recruitment under the proviso to Rule-13 of the Rules.
19. Certain averment have been made in the batch of cases filed by the lady candidates in O.A.
1737(C)/98 etc. and several arguments were advanced by their counsel about the determination for
the quota for women. However, the relief claimed by them is that they should not be deleted from the
select list and denied appointment. Since this relief has been granted by the directions given in para-
17 above, we do not propose to go into those averments and submissions. However, we direct the
G.A. Department to re-examine the quota indicated for women in different categories in Rule 4(2) of
the Orissa Civil Services (Reservation of vacancies for Women in Public Services) Rules, 1994 in
which the SEBC category is left out and revise it suitably, leaving no room for any ambiguity. The G.A.
Department is also directed to take up the question of reservation for SEBC with the Welfare Department
and ensure that the Resolution dt. 8.12.94 is revised suitably, taking note of the observation in para 16
above.
20. The Original Applications are allowed with the above directions. No costs.
