JAMMU , JULY ,31:
The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) Jammu has ordered the immediate removal of Dr. Mushtaq Ahmad Rather from the post of Director, Family Welfare, MCH & Immunization, terming his continuation unjustified and in violation of earlier court directions. The Tribunal had previously quashed his appointment, citing ineligibility, and directed that the charge be given to the senior-most eligible officer, including consideration of Dr. Poonam Sethi. Despite this, the government failed to act, prompting the Tribunal to intervene again and issue strict directions.
