The letter claimed that the lack of recruitment for gazetted cadre posts in the Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh over the past five years had caused distress and uncertainty among the educated youth of Ladakh. It was stated that this inaction violated the principles of natural justice and contravened Articles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574870\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">14<\/a> (Right to Equality) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574893\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">16<\/a> (Equality of Opportunity in Public Employment) of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Constitution of India<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001575142\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">320<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Constitution of India<\/a> outlines the duties of the Union and State Public Service Commissions, including conducting examinations for appointments to services of the Union and States, respectively and Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000214197\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">93<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000214316\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019<\/a> states that the Public Service Commission for the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir shall continue for the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and the UPSC, with the approval of the President, shall serve the recruitment needs of the UT of Ladakh.<\/p>\n<p>The Court observed that the representation lacked details on whether the petitioners had approached the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), New Delhi, which is the appropriate authority as per the relevant provisions. The Court took note of the same and deemed it necessary to involve the UPSC and the UT of Ladakh as respondents.
