    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana allowed four consolidated writ petitions challenging public notices dated 04.03.2024 and 11.03.2024 for Fire Operator-cum-Driver recruitment. The court held that introducing eligibility criteria (recognized institutions list) after the selection process concluded violated Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution, as it altered the "rules of the game" midstream. The respondents were directed to reconsider petitioners' claims based on original Advertisement No.03/2023 criteria within six weeks, with notional benefits from respective merit positions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
