The Punjab High Court has ordered the Excise Department to furnish complete details of all applications received for its recent recruitment drive.
The Punjab High Court, sitting in Jalandhar, issued a directive on Wednesday demanding that the State Excise Department submit a comprehensive list of applications received for its latest recruitment exercise. The court's order came after a petition raised concerns about the transparency of the selection process.
According to the court's order, the department must provide the names of applicants, their qualifications, and the status of each application within a stipulated time frame. The High Court emphasized that such information is essential to ensure fairness and accountability in public service appointments.
The Excise Department, which conducts periodic recruitment for positions ranging from inspectors to clerical staff, has not yet commented on the specifics of the court's directive. The matter will be reviewed in a subsequent hearing to determine whether any procedural lapses occurred during the recruitment.
