A court order has temporarily halted the selection process for the Punjab Assistant District Attorney recruitment for the 2026 batch, according to the latest update on pw.live.
The Punjab government’s recruitment drive for the Assistant District Attorney (ADA) cadre for the 2026 batch has been put on hold following a court‑issued stay. The legal injunction stops any further steps in the selection process, including written examinations and interviews, until the matter is resolved.
The stay was reported on the news portal pw.live, which cited the court’s decision without providing detailed reasoning. Authorities are expected to comply with the order and await further judicial directions before resuming the recruitment timeline.
Stakeholders, including aspirants and training institutes, have been advised to monitor official notifications for updates. The suspension does not affect previously cleared candidates, but their final appointment remains pending pending the court’s final verdict.
The government has not issued a separate statement yet, and the legal challenge that prompted the stay remains under review in the Punjab High Court.
