HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY DHAR

The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir dismissed Deep Mala's writ petition challenging the 2023 Anganwadi Worker recruitment advertisement. The court held that since the advertisement was issued after a new recruitment policy (Govt. Order 222-JK of 2022) superseded the previous 2017 policy, the old criteria granting preference to existing helpers could not be applied to the selection process. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
