UP Police SI Recruitment 2025 High Court Stay on 4,543 Posts

The UP Police SI Recruitment 2025 has been put on hold at the appointment stage after the Allahabad High Court stayed the issuance of appointment letters for 4,543 Sub-Inspector posts.

The court passed the order while hearing petitions related to objections raised over changes in examination questions. The next hearing is scheduled for October 5, 2026.

Why Has the Allahabad High Court Stayed UP Police SI Appointments?

The petitions were filed by candidates who raised concerns about changes made to some questions in the written examination. The petitioners also alleged that their objections were not properly considered by the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB).

The matter was heard by a single bench of Justice Anees Kumar Gupta. The court has now stayed the issuance of appointment letters while the case is being heard.

The stay does not cancel the UP Police SI recruitment. The next hearing on October 5 is expected to bring further clarity on the appointment process.

What Is the UP Police SI Recruitment 2025 Vacancy?

The UPPRPB had issued the recruitment notification for Sub-Inspector (Civil Police) and equivalent posts on August 12, 2025.

The written test was held in two shifts on each day. Its result was declared on May 7, 2026.

The dispute now before the court is linked to objections raised over changes in some examination questions and the handling of those objections.

What Happens Next in UP Police SI Recruitment 2025?

For now, the issuance of appointment letters for the 4,543 posts remains stayed following the court's order.

The next hearing is scheduled for October 5, 2026. Further directions from the Allahabad High Court will determine how the appointment process moves ahead.
