    Case Summary: CWP/34538/2024 The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed Vijay Kansal's petition challenging Rule 12.18(3)(b) of the Punjab Police (Haryana Amendment) Rules, 2015, which bars appointment of candidates facing criminal charges involving moral turpitude punishable by three years or more imprisonment. The Court held the Rule reasonable as it provides legitimate guidelines for assessing suitability for police employment, distinguishing between initial appointment eligibility and continuance in service—standards that need not be identical. The petitioner's candidature for Constable was cancelled after charges were framed against him for outraging a woman's modesty under IPC Sections 148, 149, 323, 325, and 354. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
