The Punjab and Haryana High Court pulled up the Haryana government for its failure to file a reply in the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging the appointment of a retired DGP as chairperson of the State Police Complaints Authority.
The court heard the case on Monday and gave four weeks to the state govt to file its reply, with a warning that any further delay would cost the state its right to respond.
The Division Bench of Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Neerja Kulwant Kalson passed an interim order while noting that despite notice having been issued on August 29, 2025, the Haryana govt. had not filed its reply so far.
The hearing in the matter will be resumed on February 26, 2026.
