The Jharkhand High Court has issued an interim stay on the state government's order that sought to cancel the appointments of candidates selected in the JSSC-CGL and CDPO examinations.
The Jharkhand High Court on Thursday imposed an interim stay on the state government's order that aimed to cancel the appointments of candidates who had cleared the Jharkhand Subordinate Service Commission (JSSC) Combined Graduate Level (CGL) and the Central Departmental Police Officer (CDPO) examinations. The court's order temporarily suspends the cancellation until further hearing.
The government had earlier issued a notification declaring that the appointments of the selected candidates would be withdrawn, citing concerns that have not been disclosed in the public domain. Following petitions filed by the affected candidates, the High Court intervened to preserve their appointment status pending a detailed review.
Legal counsel for the petitioners welcomed the stay, stating that it prevents immediate loss of jobs for hundreds of aspirants who had cleared the competitive exams. The court has scheduled a full hearing to examine the merits of the government's cancellation order and to decide whether the appointments should stand or be rescinded.
In the meantime, the candidates remain in a state of limbo, awaiting the court's final decision, while the state administration has been directed to maintain the status quo and not proceed with any further action on the appointments.
