Jharkhand HC stays notifications cancelling appointment of government staff through 11th to 13th JPSC exams

The Jharkhand High Court has stayed the operation of notifications cancelling the appointment of government staff through the 11th to 13th Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) examinations, as well as the appointments of food safety officers. The court's decision comes after hearing a petition against the government notifications, with the judge observing that it violates the principle of natural justice.

This relief is provided to around 450 candidates who had been affected by the cancellations. The stay has been granted until September 15, the next date of hearing, during which the state will be required to furnish its reply. The decision was made following the cancellation of the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission-Combined Graduate Level (JSSC-CGL) examination and all exams conducted since 2014 by a blacklisted agency, in the wake of student protests over alleged irregularities in recruitment exams.
