In a far-reaching direction issued to the Punjab Government and the commission, Chief Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice Augustine George Masih directed the rights body chairman to protect the interests of all the employees working on a contractual or outsourcing basis for a considerable period while finalising the recruitment rules.
The Bench also took strong exception that the state government had slept over the matter despite earlier High Court direction on finalising recruitment rules within six months.
The Bench observed that the government has woken up just before the date of hearing and had forwarded the draft rules to the Finance/Personnel Departments and the PPSC only on November 15 for getting their inputs.
The Bench thereupon directed that the two departments and the PPSC to give their inputs to the Home Department within a month. The Bench added that the chairman would finalise the recruitment rules within the next month.
In this PIL filed by Dinesh Chadha, directions have been sought to the respondents to frame recruitment rules for staff on a permanent basis in the PSHRC.
