On Wednesday, the Punjab and Haryana High Court issued a notice to the Punjab government on a plea filed by some youth from the state for the failure of state authorities to deliver the promise made by Chief M inister Amarinder Singh in his tweet regarding increase of age in recruitment of sub-inspectors in Punjab Police.
According to the petitioners, the CM had announced in a tweet on July 12, 2020, that the age of candidates for recruitment of sub inspectors (SIs) in Punjab Police would be increased from 28 years to 32.
However, the age limit has not been increased in advertisement issued on July 6, 2021, for the recruitment of 560 SIs and the upper age limit has been kept 28, they stated.
Taking cognisance of the petition, Justice Girish Agnihotri has issued notice to the Punjab home secretary and the DGP, seeking their response on the contentions raised by the petitioners.
The petition has been filed by Navdeep Brar, a resident of Bharu village in Gidderbaha tehsil of Muktsar district, and 55 other youths from Punjab.
They have sought directions to the state to give them age relaxation since they were deprived of their right to apply against the said posts since no recruitment of SIs was made in the last five years.
The matter has now been fixed for August 16 for further hearing.
