The Story in Brief
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has stayed the recruitment of 454 Pharmacy Officer posts advertised by Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot, over alleged cheating and a paper leak. The interim order halts all appointments until the next hearing. The court was hearing a petition that demanded cancellation of the examination and a fresh test, citing irregularities. Both ndtv.com and indiatvnews.com report that the outcome of the next hearing will decide whether the recruitment process is scrapped or revised.
The Indian Opinion
Every exam leak feeds the same cycle: outrage, a stay, and then silence till the next scandal. The High Court has rightly paused 454 appointments, but the real test is whether the investigation names the organisers behind the paper leak or merely punishes honest candidates who paid for a test they thought was fair. The next hearing must deliver more than an adjournment.
