It was announced by the Chief Minister that the age for police recruitment would be increased from 28 to 32 which has not been done due to which the petitioners were not able to participate in the Punjab Police recruitment.
Advocate Praduman argued that the petitioners had been waiting for five years for the recruitment to take place and when the Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh had announced the extension, they had high hopes but now that the recruitment has taken place, the age has not been extended.
It has been argued that the above age relaxation is in the hands of Punjab DGP and that's why notice has been sent to the DGP asking for a reply.
