thebalanced.newsSupreme Court Questions High Court Order on 2001 Haryana Civil Service Recruitment Case
The Supreme Court has questioned the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision to quash a chargesheet against eight Haryana Civil Services officers accused of manipulation in the 2001 recruitment exam. The apex court criticized the high court's handling of the case, noting delays and unexamined evidence, and has summoned the Investigating Officer and sought assistance from the Haryana Advocate General. The Supreme Court stayed the quashing order and is reviewing the matter following a petition by Congress leader Karan Dalal.
