From this, only 28 posts were advertised for recruitment on June 19, 2015, the RTI response said. Of the remaining vacant 68 posts, no information has been provided. Subsequently, the examination for the June 19 advertisement was stayed/cancelled due to stay order for direct recruitment received from the High court, Guwahati, Kohima Bench on August 18, 2015, the RTI response stated.
Here, the RTI petitioner observed that no case number on the High Court order was furnished in the response. The petitioner also maintained that no information on the stayed/cancelled order of the High Court was communicated to the 4888 aspiring candidates (4087 male and 801 females) who applied for the positions vacant.
