Punjab and Haryana High Court Stays PSRLM Recruitment Over Marking Anomalies
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has stayed the selection process for 248 posts under the Punjab State Rural Livelihoods Mission due to prima facie anomalies in awarding marks to candidates. Justice Sandeep Moudgil ordered a court-supervised scrutiny after concerns about irregularities and lack of transparency in the recruitment process. The court will review the scrutiny committee's report on September 2. Petitions allege the selection lacked a published merit list and uniform application of criteria, raising questions about fairness.
