Big Update regarding JKPSI Age Relaxation: High Court of J&K and Ladakh Dismisses UT’s Appeal in Sub-Inspector Recruitment Case
In an important development in the ongoing Sub-Inspector recruitment case, the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh has dismissed an appeal filed by the Union Territory administration. The appeal was related to a previous order that allowed some candidates to participate in the recruitment process for the post of Sub-Inspector.
Background of the Case
The original case was filed by a few candidates who were seeking to be included in the recruitment process. On December 24, 2024, a Single Judge of the High Court allowed them to take part in the selection process at their own risk. However, the court directed that their results would be kept sealed and subject to future court orders.
The government, not satisfied with this direction, filed an appeal (LPA 75/2025) asking for the order to be modified. They argued that the recruitment process was already at an advanced stage and it wasn’t practical to include the petitioners now. The government also pointed out that the same candidates had earlier availed age relaxation under a previous advertisement (No. 06/2021) but failed to qualify.
What Happened in Court
The case was heard by Chief Justice Arun Palli and Justice Rajnesh Oswal. The court noted that the matter is already being looked into by the Single Judge, who is also considering a related application (No. 107/2025) seeking to modify the original order. Since this application is pending and a notice has already been issued to the parties, the Division Bench decided not to interfere.
The government’s lawyer, understanding the situation, requested to withdraw the appeal. The court allowed this, and gave the government the liberty to approach the Single Judge to prepone the hearing of the case and the related application, which is currently listed for May 31, 2025.
What This Means
This order means that the original direction allowing the petitioners to participate in the recruitment process still stands, at least for now. The final decision will depend on the outcome of the pending application before the Single Judge.
