Jharkhand high court stays govt notification cancelling appointments from JPSC exams
The Jharkhand High Court has temporarily halted the implementation of a state government notification that rescinded appointments made by candidates who took the 11th to 13th Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) exams. The state government had cancelled 22 exams following a probe by the Crime Investigation Department (CID) into alleged irregularities.
This action came after a special Cabinet meeting on Monday, which postponed six exams and included 17 others conducted since 2014 in the investigation scope. Over 2,600 individuals who had been appointed through these exams faced potential job loss. Protesters, including recently appointed government employees, challenged the decision before the Jharkhand High Court, arguing that instead of cancelling the entire examinations, only those found guilty of irregularities should be targeted.
