India, Oct. 17 -- It is the exclusive prerogative of the employer to fill up vacancies as per its requirement and a candidate cannot dictate it to fill all the vacancies, the High Court of J&K and Ladakh has ruled.

A division bench comprising Chief Justice Arun Palli and Justice Rajnesh Oswal while dismissing a bunch of petitions challenging appointment of constables in Jammu and Kashmir State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) Battalions held "it is the sole prerogative of the employer to fill up a particular number of vacancies as per the requirement of the department and a candidate (job seekers) cannot dictate the employer to fill all the vacancies".
