SC stays Haryana Judicial Services (Mains) exam scheduled for May 6 to 8

New Delhi, May 4: In an interim order issued on Wednesday, the Supreme Court stayed the Haryana Judicial Services (Mains) examination 2021, which was scheduled for May 6 to 8, citing a clash with the Madhya Pradesh Civil Judge Examination.

A bench of Justices Vineet Saran and JK Maheshwari issued the interim order to postpone the Haryana judicial services exam.

The top court now posted the matter for hearing on May 9 and has asked the Punjab and Haryana High Court to either inform the re-scheduled dates or assist the Court in fixing the dates.

The Haryana Public Service Commission conducts the exams, which are overseen by a selection committee led by a High Court judge.
