Nepal Electricity Authority Recruitment Process on Hold Due to Supreme Court Orders
In a recent development, the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has announced the suspension of its ongoing recruitment process for various technical and administrative positions. This decision comes in the wake of interim orders issued by the Supreme Court of Nepal, profoundly affecting the employment landscape within the energy sector.
Supreme Court's Intervention Halts NEA Recruitment
-
Origin of the Legal Directive: The Supreme Court's involvement began with writ no. 080-WO-0513, dated 2080/08/25, which pertained to the examination processes for Level 4 Technician and Level 7 positions initially advertised by the NEA on 2080/07/24.
-
Widening Scope of Court Orders: Subsequently, writ no. 080-WO-0524 dated 2080/08/28 extended the judicial scrutiny to include the recruitment for Level 7 accounting group and levels 8, 9, and 10 in accounting, administration, and technical groups, as advertised on 2080/07/24.
Implications for Prospective Candidates
-
Temporary Suspension of Job Advertisements: As a direct result of the Supreme Court's interim orders, the NEA's Vacancy Committee, on 2080/09/05, decided to suspend all job advertisements until further notice. This move impacts numerous candidates who were in various stages of the recruitment process.
-
Awaiting Further Instructions: Candidates aspiring to join the NEA are now in a state of uncertainty, waiting for the legal proceedings to conclude and for the NEA to resume its recruitment activities.
