Clerks’ recruitment: HC stays order for CBI probe
CHANDIGARH: A Punjab and Haryana high court division bench has stayed a Cbi-probe order into recruitment for 1,192 posts of clerks by Punjab. On March 19, a singlejudge bench of HC ordered the probe as it found the state reluctant to make appointments of those ignored in merit list. Government appealed against the order, saying it was ready to hold a probe. The recruitment ad came out in 2013. The single-judge order came on petitions in which reserved category candidates higher in merit than general candidates challenged “arbitrary action” of government of not considering them in general category.
