CAT Seeks Response from Labour Ministry, ESIC on Nursing Officer Posting Allocation
The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has issued a notice to the Ministry of Labour and Employment and ESIC regarding alleged irregularities in the posting allocation of nursing officers recruited for ESIC hospitals nationwide. Petitioners claim that despite higher ranks, they were assigned less preferred locations, citing unfair treatment of reserved category candidates as 'reserved candidates against unreserved vacancies' (RAUV). They argue the allocation violated Department of Personnel and Training guidelines and seek a fresh merit-based posting list. The tribunal awaits responses before further hearings.
