Mohinder Verma JAMMU, Feb 21: In order to prevent re-entry of persons dismissed from the services of Central or any State Government into public employment in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, the Government has sought necessary information from all the Administrative Secretaries in a time bound manner. The Clause 3(a) (General Principles) of Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Verification of Character and Antecedents) Instruction, 1997 states: “A person dismissed from services of Central or any State Government (including Administration of Union Territories) should be deemed to be ineligible for appointments”. To achieve this objective, all the departments are required to furnish information about such persons to the Criminal Investigation Department to facilitate the latter in verification of character and antecedents in order to ascertain the suitability of candidates at the time of their initial appointment to Government positions.
