    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed Surinder Kaur's petition challenging PSPCL's recruitment advertisement for Junior Engineer/Electrical positions. The court upheld the 60% minimum marks requirement for diploma holders (versus 50% for degree holders), finding it rationally justified as B.E./B.Tech degrees are higher qualifications than diplomas and the differentiated criteria advances meritocracy without violating Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
