SC sets aside High Court order staying 75% quota in private sector jobs for Haryana residents
The Supreme Court has set aside the High Court order staying the 75 percent quota in private sector jobs for Haryana residents. The Punjab and Haryana High court on 3rd February had granted an interim stay on the Haryana government’s law providing 75 percent reservation in private sector jobs for residents of the state.
A bench of justices L Nageswara Rao and Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha also directed the Haryana government today not to take coercive action against employers.
The court said it did not intend to deal with merits of matter as it proposes to request the high court to decide expeditiously and not later than four weeks.
The Court also directed Parties not to seek adjournment and be present before court for fixing the schedule for hearing.
The order came on an appeal filed by the Haryana government challenging the Punjab and Haryana High Court order granting an interim stay on its law providing 75 percent quota in private sector jobs for residents of the state.
