Chandigarh, September 23, 2024: The Punjab and Haryana High Court has approved the recruitment of 1,158 assistant professors and librarians, reversing the earlier decision made by a single Bench that had annulled the entire recruitment procedure.
The recruitment process, which commenced in 2021, has been subject to judicial examination following the annulment of the entire procedure by a single Bench last year. In reaction to this decision, both the candidates and the state government filed appeals to a double Bench.
"Our government has successfully won the appeal in the 1158 Asst. Professors case. Congrats to all involved, especially our dedicated legal team! This is the second major recruitment victory after 2364 ETT. Both were pending in court since long due to faults of previous government. A step forward for a better future of Higher Education in Punjab. Thanks to all the candidates who showed trust in us and waited patiently till today," Minister Harjot Singh Bains wrote on X.
