The Punjab and Haryana High Court has stayed the discharge of 72 officers and jawans of a Territorial Army (TA) Railway Engineer Regiment based in Chandigarh, which is under process of disbandment.

A single judge bench passed the order on a petition filed by the personnel, including eight officers and 64 jawans. All the petitioners are railway employees who are serving as volunteers in the 1101 Railway Engineers’ Regiment (TA) based in Chandigarh.
