The Operative Part of the Judgement Reads as, ” Keeping in view the aforesaid peculiar facts and circumstances of the case and for the foregoing reasons, I am of the opinion that the process adopted /decision made by the awarding contract to Respondent No. 2 (M/sAptech Limited) is malafide and change of condition in tender was intended to favour Respondent No.2 and these decisions will have an effect on public interest as the Respondent No. 2 has been assigned to conduct examinations, wherein the selectees will be appointed to hold public posts, accordingly this writ petition is allowed and the contract awarded byrespondent No.1 in favour of respondent No.2 pursuant to e-NIT No.19 of
2022 dated 30.09.2022 for conduct of its various examinations through computer based tests mode is quashed. Consequently, all the exams viz Junior Engineer-civil (Jal Shakti Department) and Sub Inspector (Home
Department) held by respondent No.1 through respondent no. 2 in furtherance of the aforementioned “award of contract to conduct
examinations” are also set aside/cancelled at whatever stage they are as on
date.
The Government is hereby directed to constitute a high level
Committee headed by not less than a retired High Court Judge to enquire
into the conduct of Jammu and Kashmir Service Selection Board for the
their brazen irregularities/illegalities in changing the terms/conditions of
the tender, also as to what weighed with them to award a contract to
conduct an examination by an organization which has previously facilitated
malpractices in public examinations and accordingly appropriate action be
initiated against those found guilty
