Jharkhand HC quashes State Govt decision to cancel JSSC-CGL exam
The court has ordered the reinstatement of the candidates selected under advertisement number 10/2023, directing that their service be treated as continuous, without any interruption.
The Jharkhand High Court recently ruled against the State government's decision to cancel the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level (JSSC-CGL) exam. The single-judge bench of Justice Deepak Roshan reversed the government's move and ordered the reinstatement of candidates who had been selected under advertisement number 10/2023.
These reinstated candidates will have their service treated as continuous without any interruption. The court's decision came after years of delayed exams and allegations of bribery, which sparked protests in Ranchi and across the state. The court emphasized that the government had not provided sufficient concrete evidence to justify the cancellation of the entire examination and the appointments made based on it.
The investigation into these examinations is being handled by the CID, and 17 other examinations are also under investigation. The court noted that the government had not presented a fact-based inquiry or evidence to prove widespread irregularities in the selection process.
