Punjab and Haryana High Court orders release of police recruitment test video

The Punjab and Haryana High Court directed Haryana Police to give an unsuccessful bandsman applicant the recording of his Band Skill Test within 30 days.

Judge / Bench — Justice Kirti Singh.

In Sunder Lal v State of Haryana (CWP 12474/2026, 2026:PHHC:197042, 3 November 2026), the court set aside the information commission’s refusal. The presence of other candidates in the footage did not by itself justify withholding the recording as personal information. The applicant did not have to show irregularity before seeking the record of his own performance.

Advocates appearing — Petitioner: Animesh Sharma with Ishita Khanna. Haryana: Saumya Ahluwalia, Senior Deputy Advocate General. Any other respondent: Not named in the judgment.
