Chandigarh, February 10
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has made it clear that from now on, candidates will be able to apply for government jobs even if they have not cleared the qualifying examination, but have applied for re-evaluation before the last date for submitting forms.
The High Court has also made it clear that advertisements issued in future for carrying out selections to “any post” would specifically mention that the candidates seeking re-evaluation in the eligibility examination “shall also be entitled to file an application provisionally while mentioning this fact clearly.
They shall also be permitted to appear in the competitive examination, if any, provisionally. However, their provisional candidature shall be subject to production of the final result of re-evaluation on or before the date of interview/counselling. This will not affect any selection made or any advertisement already issued for selection.”
The ruling came on a petition filed by Sunita Devi against the State of Punjab and another respondent. She had applied for the post of Punjabi mistress, but cleared the additional paper of Punjab after re-evaluation, the result of which was declared after the last date for submission of forms.
Justice Rajesh Bindal asserted: “A candidate, who has applied for revaluation of his answer books and before the result is declared has applied for a post, he shall be at liberty to file a representation to the competent authority in the university/educational institute for expediting re-evaluation of his answer books so that he does not suffer on account of delay.”
Justice Bindal directed that copies of the order be sent to the Chief Secretaries of Punjab and Haryana and the UT Home Secretary for implementation”.
