The Rajasthan High Court issued a stay order preventing the announcement of assistant professor recruitment results after objections were raised by candidates.
The Rajasthan High Court has issued an interim order restraining any declaration of the results for the recent assistant professor recruitment across state universities and colleges. The court acted on petitions filed by aggrieved candidates who challenged the selection process, citing procedural irregularities and alleged bias.
In its order, the bench directed the recruiting authority to refrain from publishing the merit list until the matter is fully examined. The court also directed both parties to appear for a hearing on the objections, the date of which will be notified subsequently.
The recruitment, which attracted applications from across the state, was intended to fill vacant teaching posts in higher education institutions. The stay order means that the appointment process will remain on hold, affecting both the shortlisted candidates and the institutions awaiting new faculty.
Legal experts note that such interventions are common when large-scale recruitment is contested, and the final outcome will depend on the court's assessment of the merits of the objections raised.
