P&H High Court Seeks State's Response On Plea Challenging Shift In Syllabus Of Haryana ADA Exam From Law To GK

The Punjab & Haryana High Court has sought the Haryana government’s response on a plea challenging the syllabus change for the Haryana Assistant District Attorney (ADA) exam, which shifted focus from law-centric to general knowledge topics.

The plea filed by a Law Graduate submitted that the change in syllabus from a law-centric screening test to a general knowledge-based test is arbitrary and lacks a rational basis.

Petitioners argue that the new pattern dilutes the assessment of legal expertise and disadvantages law graduates. The court will examine whether the change aligns with the role’s requirements and ensures fair selection of qualified candidates.
