A Bench headed by Justice L Nageswara Rao set aside the February 3 interim order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court staying the “The Haryana State Employment of Local Candidates Act, 2020”, saying that the latter “has not given sufficient reasons for staying the legislation”. The Bench, also comprising Justice P S Narasimha, said it did not want to enter into the merits of the matter and would leave it to the HC to take a call first.
