Practice question
Two fully qualified persons are proposed for temporary appointment. One is for a routine administrative post with no applicable exception; the other is a Medical Officer undergoing certified residency within the rules’ special provision. Assume all other relevant requirements are met. An official claims fully qualified persons must always be treated identically under Section 9(b)(7), regardless of residency. Which analysis is correct?
- Medical residency is expressly excluded from every exception.
- The ordinary fully-qualified temporary appointment is subject to disapproval or invalidation, while the stated certified medical-residency exception must be considered for the other.
- Both appointments automatically become permanent without any review.
- The routine position becomes a residency post by using a medical label.
- The rule contains no distinction between these facts.
