Jharkhand High Court stays notifications cancelling appointments of CDPOs, recruitment through JSSC-CGL exam
"The court today stayed the operation of the notification cancelling recruitments through Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission-Combined Graduate Level examination (JSSC-CGL), besides the one cancelling the appointments of CDPOs," said petitioner's counsel Indrajit Sinha
On August 21, 2026, the Jharkhand High Court stayed notifications that cancelled the appointments of Child Development Project Officers (CDPOs) and those hired through the JSSC-CGL exam. Earlier on August 19, the court had stayed notifications cancelling the 11th and 13th Jharkhand PSC exams. The court today also stayed the operation of notifications cancelling recruitments through the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission-Combined Graduate Level examination (JSSC-CGL), according to counsel Indrajit Sinha of the petitioner.
Protests over recruitment irregularities had lasted for 25 days, leading the JMM-led government on August 18 to cancel 22 exams and order a probe into 23 others conducted since 2014.
