(My roll no: [deleted], Application Seq No: AAISR1060646) Minimum Cut Off for Stage one was 50 marks and stage 2 was 60 marks. My individual scores for stages 1 and 2 were 54 and 82 respectively. My cumulative score was 136 out of 200. During the recruitment process, only age relaxation as given to ex-servicemen so that they can apply for the exam. In that advertisement published on the official website of AAI, only age relaxation was mentioned for ex-servicemen. The post of Junior Assistant (Fire Service) is a Group C post. No quota of the number of specific vacancies to be filled up by ex-servicemen was mentioned in it. But, in a letter originated by the Asst General Manager (HR) for Regional Executive Director, Southern Region, Chennai of AAI which was addressed to The Director, Directorate of Employment & Training, U T Administration of Lakshadweep, Kavaratti vide AAI/SR/2-1(6)/EA/2018/R&P dated [deleted], it is clearly mentioned that " Note: Reservation of Ex-Servicemen is Applicable". Age relaxation is given by all Ministries/Departments of the Govt Of India as per OM No 36034/3/2013-Estt(Res) dated 25 Feb 2014 to ex-servicemen to enable them to compete for job vacancies. That OM and others originated by DOPT already elaborately directs the Ministries/Departments of the Govt Of India to provide 10% vacancy for any Group C post reserved exclusively to ex-servicemen. The above mentioned OM also has instructions on definition of ex-servicemen, Application of ex-servicemen rules, reservation of vacancies, relaxation regarding age limit, relaxation regarding educational qualification, intimation of vacancies, priority in the appointment, relaxation of standard, liaison officer for reservation matters relating to ex-servicemen, etc. These rules were followed and the final list of selected candidates is grouped under 4 categories namely Unreserved, OBC, SC, and ST.

While every care has been taken in preparing the above results, AAI reserves the right to rectify any inadvertent error or typographical mistakes at any time...

send email to AAI southern region that no ex service category is shown in list of selected candidates
2) mention that 10 reservation has to be given for ex service men as per OM /2014
3) if no action is taken on your complaint file writ petition in HC against AAI for failure to provide reservation for ex servicemen
You are aggrieved over the partiality shown by the recruiting agency by not selecting you in the reserved category for Ex-servicemen.
As you say that there are various government OMs and gazette notification in this regard, you may first obtain the information for not selecting you under ex servicemen quota (provided you have applied for this job under that category) and then you can file a writ petition before high court seeking releif as per the government orders.
You may take steps as per procedures of law in furtherance
I DO NOT GET ANY ANSWER TILL THE TIME CAN I MOVE IT FOR HON HC OF KERALA IS IT A VIOLATION OF CENTRAL GOVT LAWS?
If no reply is received you can file writ petition in HC
First of all confirm if the conditions for employment have been violated by the recruiting agency.
If so then you can straight away approach high court with a writ petition.
However if you are frustrated over only the Central government laws not being followed by the recruitment board, then you have less chance to maintain the propose writ petition.
Ex service men quota not provided separately but adjusted with reserved category. 10% quota may have provided from reserved categories and from general seats.
Ask them information under RTI. If not receive satisfying response than file WRIT in High Court.
Writ petition in high court is the speedy recourse
