The Jharkhand High Court has annulled the state government’s order that cancelled the appointments of candidates selected for the JSSC CGL exam, allowing the appointments to stand while the CID probe continues.
The Jharkhand High Court today quashed a government order that had cancelled the appointments of candidates selected for the Jharkhand Subordinate Services Commission (JSSC) Competitive Group Level (CGL) exam. The court’s decision restores the validity of the appointments, allowing the selected candidates to assume their positions.
The order, issued by the state government, had been challenged by the affected candidates and their representatives. The court found that the cancellation lacked sufficient legal basis and therefore overturned it.
While the appointments remain in force, the court noted that the ongoing Criminal Investigation Department (CID) probe into the matter would continue unabated. The probe is expected to examine the circumstances that led to the cancellation order.
The ruling is seen as a significant relief for the candidates who had been waiting to start their service, and it underscores the judiciary’s role in safeguarding employment rights.
