The Jharkhand High Court has set aside the state government's decision to cancel the JSSC-CGL exam, restoring the recruitment process for candidates.
The Jharkhand High Court has nullified the state government's directive that sought to cancel the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission's Combined Graduate Level (JSSC-CGL) examination. By overturning the order, the court has reinstated the exam, allowing the recruitment drive to proceed as originally planned.
Legal counsel for the commission welcomed the judgment, stating that the cancellation would have disrupted the selection of qualified candidates for various state posts. The court's decision underscores the judiciary's role in ensuring that administrative actions comply with procedural fairness.
The ruling is expected to provide relief to thousands of aspirants who had registered for the exam, and the commission is likely to announce a revised schedule for the test in the coming days.
