HC Sets Aside Jharkhand Govt Order Cancelling Exams Amid Protests Against Irregularities
The court said the state lacked concrete evidence of systemic irregularities and ordered uninterrupted service for more than 2,000 selected candidates.
- On Friday, The Jharkhand High Court overturned the State government's decision to cancel the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level Exam. Justice Deepak Roshan set aside the cancellation, providing relief to successful candidates.
- Following Jharkhand State Crime Investigation Department reports and widespread protests, the State decided to cancel the Exam and appointments on August 17, 2026. Officials issued a notification on August 18, 2026, formalizing the decision to scrap the recruitment process.
- The High Court ruled that cancelling the entire process is unjustified, as authorities can identify and exclude guilty individuals through ongoing investigations rather than penalizing all selected candidates. Justice Roshan observed the State failed to prove systematic irregularities.
- More than 2,000 candidates were affected by the previous cancellation, and the High Court ordered the reinstatement of candidates selected under advertisement number 10/2023, directing their service be treated as continuous without interruption.
- While the Exam results stand, the investigation into irregularities continues. Any candidates found guilty during the probe may be excluded, but the court emphasized selected individuals cannot be terminated merely based on pending allegations against a few candidates.
