The Jharkhand High Court has set aside a previous order and restored the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission's Combined Graduate Level recruitment, ensuring that candidates already selected retain their appointments.
Ranchi: In a decisive judgment, the Jharkhand High Court overturned a prior directive that had halted the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) Combined Graduate Level (CGL) recruitment process. The court ordered the immediate resumption of the recruitment and directed the commission to honour the appointments of candidates who had already cleared the selection stages.
The bench emphasized that the candidates, who had invested time and resources to qualify for the exam, should not suffer undue loss of employment opportunities due to procedural lapses. It further instructed the JSSC to issue appointment letters without delay and to ensure that the selected candidates receive the salaries and benefits stipulated for the posts.
Legal counsel for the candidates welcomed the verdict, calling it a protection of merit and fairness in public service recruitment. The JSSC has indicated its compliance and is expected to complete the formalities within the next few weeks.
The ruling underscores the judiciary's role in safeguarding the rights of job aspirants and maintaining the integrity of state recruitment processes.
