SC Junks HC's Order Staying Haryana Govt's 75% Quota in Private Jobs for Locals

The law by the Haryana government provided 75 percent reservation to locals in private sector jobs.

The Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday, 17 February, set aside the interim order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which had granted an interim stay on the operation of a law by the Haryana government providing 75 percent reservation to locals in private sector jobs, reported LiveLaw.

The apex court on Thursday said that the high court had not stated any "sufficient" reasons for passing the interim stay order. It also requested the high court to decide on the matter within four weeks.

"The order passed by the High Court is set aside as the High Court has not given sufficient reasons for staying the legislation," the top court ordered, as per Bar and Bench report.
