Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Babulal G. Champa has asked the High Court to take suo motu cognisance of alleged irregularities in the recruitment processes of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand State Service Commission (JSSC).
Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Babulal G. Champa has written to the Jharkhand High Court, urging it to take suo motu cognisance of irregularities alleged in the recruitment processes of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and the Jharkhand State Service Commission (JSSC).
Champa expressed concerns that the selection procedures of both commissions have been marred by lack of transparency and possible favoritism, which could undermine public trust in civil service appointments. He called for a thorough investigation to ensure that recruitment is conducted fairly and in accordance with statutory norms.
The High Court has the authority to initiate suo motu proceedings when it perceives a matter of public interest. By seeking the court’s intervention, Champa hopes to prompt an independent inquiry into the functioning of the JPSC and JSSC.
No specific details of the alleged irregularities were disclosed in Champa’s letter, but the call reflects growing scrutiny over state recruitment bodies. The court’s response will be closely watched by civil servants and the public alike.
