Contrary to the narrative created by Management that SET is being done under pressure from higher offices, it has come to our notice that there is no such pressure from higher offices. Some corners present in the HR group has presented the wrong facts in order to convince Hon’ble MoSC for continuance of the process. However, our submissions have been taken into cognizance by the Hon’ble Minister, and he has directed BSNL to defer the exam. One of the senior officer present in HR group has been trying his level best to ensure that SET exam is completed, may be due to the huge money involved in the process. At the same time Team, AIGETOA is also determined to stop the process and is in the process to apprise Hon’ble MoSC about the actual facts on record in next week.

In the meanwhile, to stop the process, AIGETOA filed miscellaneous application (MA) through its members which was heard today before the vacation bench at Chandigarh. Hon’ble CAT bench has directed BSNL to not to move ahead with the appointment in the SET cadre till the promotion process of applicants are completed. However, Hon’ble Court did not granted Stay on the examination process. The next date of the hearing is 13th July. In the meanwhile, our legal team is making full efforts to stop the examination also which will be informed in due course of time. Today’s development has given us a major breakthrough and will give greater impetus to our efforts for scrapping the whole SET Recruitment Process.
