The Haryana Employment Act – Interim Stay Granted by The Punjab & Haryana High Court

The Hon’ble Punjab & Haryana High Court has granted an interim stay on February 3, 2022, on implementation of The Haryana State Employment of Local Candidates Act, 2020. The court has considered the arguments and wants to examine whether any State can restrict employment (even in the Private Sector) based on domicile. The Hon’ble court has directed these writ petitions be listed for regular hearing in April 2022.

Further, the State Government has challenged the stay order to the Supreme Court on 4th Feb 2022 and the hearing is yet to be done.
