On a recent occasion, the Kalmunai High Court in Sri Lanka overturned a decision made by the Public Service Commission of the Eastern Provincial Council. The court struck down the appointment of an individual to the post of Provincial Director of Animal Production and Health. The decision came following a petition submitted by veterinary officer Dr. M. A. Nadheer.
Dr. Nadheer argued that his application for the position had been unjustly declined. The court agreed with his claim and ruled in his favor. The court then instructed the Governor of the Eastern Province, Prof. Jayanth Lal Ratnesekera, to hold a new round of interviews for all those who had previously applied. The aim was to select the most suitable candidate in line with the recruitment scheme that had been publicly approved and published.
Additionally, the court emphasized that no academic qualifications should be awarded marks by the appointing authority unless their authenticity has been confirmed with the awarding institution via the correct channels. Dr. Nadheer's attorney, Sahfy H. Ismail, represented him during the proceedings.
