The recruitment of 1983 PTIs through HSSC in 2010 was set aside by the HC and the orders were also upheld by the SC asking the state to hold fresh selection. The state, aiming to adjust the PTIs on new posts, issued an advertisement on January 25,which has come under judicial scanner

Thus the petition has been filed by the jangir Singh and others for quashing the public notice dated January 25. .The  counsel for the petitioners contended that the selection criteria to the aforesaid post regarding the experience in physical training is totally arbitrary and discriminatory as 6 marks for every year have been given for a PTI who has worked in the state education department and only 1 mark for every year to a candidate who worked in a private organisation. It was submitted that the sacked PTIs had served for a period of 10 years before their selection was set aside.

They had also referred to the minimum age limit of 18 years and maximum age limit of 57 prescribed by the authorities for these posts, when the upper limit in Haryana is 42 years.
