Punjab ADA 2026 Selection Process Stays Pending Court Order

The Punjab government’s recruitment drive for the 2026 batch of Assistant District Attorneys has been put on hold following a court injunction. The stay order, issued by a local high court, suspends all further steps in the selection process until further notice. Officials have been instructed to refrain from conducting written tests, interviews, or any other assessment activities related to the recruitment. The court’s intervention comes after petitions were filed challenging aspects of the selection procedure, though specific grounds were not disclosed in the public statement. Authorities are awaiting clarification from the judiciary before resuming the hiring timeline.
