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.
