According to a report in The Tribune, a Bench of Justices Ajay Tewari and Pankaj Jain on Thursday admitted several petitions challenging the law, which provides 75 per cent reservation for local youth in private sector jobs with monthly salary of less than ₹30,000, effective January 15, 2022.
Short-term work and a host of primary services were later exempted from the provisions of the law.
The law was championed by Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, whose party Jannayak Janata Party had mentioned it as a pre-poll promise.
The Faridabad Industries Association, the IMT Industrial Association and Gurgaon Industrial Association were among the petitioners challenging the law before the High Court. The petition by the Gurgaon body stated that the Act was against the provisions of the Constitution and the principle of meritocracy.
