The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Union Government in response to a plea seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into alleged irregularities in the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission examinations.
The Supreme Court of India has formally notified the Union Government after a petition was filed seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into irregularities in the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JPSC) examinations. The notice, issued by the Court, directs the Centre to respond to the plea and provide the necessary information for the investigation.
The petition, filed by concerned parties, alleged that the JPSC exam process had been compromised, prompting demands for a thorough investigation by the CBI. The Court’s action underscores the judiciary’s role in ensuring accountability in public service recruitment.
The Union Government is expected to reply within the stipulated timeframe, after which the Court will decide whether to order a CBI inquiry. The case highlights ongoing concerns about transparency in state-level examination processes.
Legal experts note that the Supreme Court’s notice is a procedural step that could lead to a formal investigation if the Centre fails to comply satisfactorily.
