Srinagar, July 14 -- The tribunal's interim order came in response to a petition challenging the language requirement.

In its order, the CAT directed the Jammu & Kashmir Service Selection Board to accept applications from candidates who possess graduation with knowledge of any of the five official languages listed under the 2020 Act-Hindi, Kashmiri, English, Dogri, and Urdu.

The Tribunal has also issued a notice to the respondents, directing them to file their reply within four weeks in response to the plea challenging the mandatory Urdu qualification for NT posts.
