(Clerical Cadre) Services Rules, 1991 the post of Junior Clerk was brought under the purview of U.P.
Subordinate Services Selection Commission and thereby restrictions have been imposed in respect of

cause or notice and without affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and in derogation to the
provisions of Article 311(2) of the Constitution service of the petitioner was dispensed with.
