The state government had requested that the high court order be suspended.

The Allahabad High Court had earlier ordered the state government to distinguish between the genuine recruits to the police constabulary and those appointed through irregular means in 2006 during the government led by Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav.

The high court had ordered the appointment of genuine recruits after segregating them from the fake ones.
