Punjab and Haryana High Court Stays Recruitment Advertisement for PCS Executive Posts
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has stayed the recruitment advertisement issued on June 5 for five Punjab Civil Services (Executive Branch) posts following a petition challenging the November 1, 2025 cut-off date for eligibility. Petitioners argued this date was arbitrary and excluded candidates who met service requirements before the advertisement. The government cited relevant service rules to justify the cut-off. The court has scheduled further hearings for August 24 and ordered the advertisement's operation to remain stayed pending resolution.
