The Jharkhand High Court has set aside the decision to cancel the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level recruitment, directing that the process be reinstated.
The Jharkhand High Court has quashed the earlier order that cancelled the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) Combined Graduate Level (CGL) recruitment, directing that the selection process be restored. The bench held that the cancellation was not in accordance with statutory provisions and ordered the immediate reinstatement of the recruitment drive.
The court directed the JSSC to resume all pending activities, including the verification of shortlisted candidates and the conduct of subsequent selection stages, without any further delay. It also instructed the commission to inform all applicants of the reinstatement and to ensure that the merit‑based selection proceeds transparently.
Job seekers who had applied for the CGL exam can now expect the recruitment to move forward, potentially opening hundreds of posts across various departments of the Jharkhand government. The decision is likely to provide relief to thousands of aspirants who had been left in uncertainty after the abrupt cancellation.
Legal experts note that the ruling underscores the judiciary's role in safeguarding procedural fairness in government recruitment, and it may set a precedent for similar cases in other states.
