HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad High Court on Tuesday stayed the selection process, including the online examination test scheduled from Wednesday, to fill the posts of junior trainees and field assistants in Visakha Steel Plant. Later in the day, a division bench refused to interfere with the orders of the single judge.Justice M S Ramachandra Rao was passing the order in a petition filed by Bhaskar Rao and another claiming that they are entitled to be considered for the above posts under the displaced persons quota.
The court was told that the VSP has notified 645 posts of junior trainee and 91 posts of field assistants, and that the written examination was conducted in July last year and later it was cancelled without assigning any reason.
