MUZAFFARABAD (Kashmir English): The High Court of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) has issued a stay order against the ongoing recruitment process for temporary appointments to 23 Grade-14 posts in various cadres of the Physical Planning and Housing Department.
According to details, Acting Chief Justice Syed Shahid Bahar, during the preliminary hearing of the case titled “Raja Qaiser Bashir and Others vs. Azad Government and Others,” admitted the writ petition for regular hearing and ordered that the recruitment process remain suspended until further proceedings.
