Headline: Appointment to top post questioned. Source: Times Of India. Sunday 20 Oct. 2002 at http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/cms.dll/articleshow?artid=25692734 Text: PANAJI: The appointment of Rajesh Singh to the post of Director, Information and Publicity, by the Goa government has run into rough weather. In a legal notice to Chief Secretary Baleshwar Rai, advocate Aires Rodrigues has drawn the government's attention to recruitment rules for the appointment to the post, which confers on him administrative, financial and statutory powers, by Government Order dated September 30, 2002. According to Rodrigues, Rajesh Singh does not qualify for the post and cannot even assume charge of the post. He alleged that Singh was a BJP advisor during the recent Assembly elections and was appointed as the Press Liaison Officer to the Chief Minister on contract basis. "From this junior post, Singh has been elevated to this high post against all norms. Therefore, this appointment is totally illegal and in contravention of the recruitment rules and against public interest," Rodrigues alleged. Rodrigues has called upon the Chief Secretary to revoke the appointment order of Singh as in-charge Director of Information and Publicity by October 22, 2002, or he would be constrained to move the High Court. ============ Don't forget - you saw it on GoaNet! ======================================================================== To view GoaNet's archives http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goa-net ======================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't want so many e-mails?
