    Case Summary: CWP/11806/2024 (Sombir and Others vs. State of Haryana) Decision: The court allowed the writ petition and quashed public notices dated 04.03.2024 and 11.03.2024 that introduced new eligibility criteria after the selection process concluded. The court directed the respondents to reconsider petitioners' claims based on original Advertisement No.03/2023 eligibility conditions within six weeks, applying the legal principles established in the precedent case Ravinder (decided 06.05.2026). Key Reasoning: The court held that introducing a list of recognized/unrecognized institutions after declaring results violated Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution, as it altered eligibility criteria midstream—a settled principle that "rules of the game cannot be changed after the game has begun." Petitioners are entitled to notional benefits from merit position and seniority, though without salary arrears for periods not actually worked. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
