    The High Court of Uttarakhand found that the amended Recruitment Rules for the Director post at PTCUL contain an inadvertent error, as the rules now require candidates to have held Chief Engineer/General Manager positions in the Board of Directors—posts that don't exist in the corporation. The court ordered the Principal Secretary to file an affidavit clarifying corrective steps and timelines, and prohibited issuance of any fresh advertisement until the error is corrected, with the case listed for further hearing on 25.05.2026.
