The Jharkhand High Court has prolonged the stay order that halts the dismissal of employees recruited through the now‑cancelled Jharkhand Public Service Commission and Jharkhand Subordinate Service Commission examinations.
The Jharkhand High Court on Tuesday extended the stay order that prevents the termination of a group of state employees who were appointed through examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and the Jharkhand Subordinate Service Commission (JSSC). The stay was originally imposed after the two commissions’ recruitment processes were cancelled, prompting the state government to move for the employees' dismissal.
In a hearing that included petitions from the affected staff, the bench upheld the earlier injunction and ordered that the termination notices remain suspended until the court decides on the substantive merits of the case. No new deadline was set, and the employees will continue to draw salaries and perform duties in the interim.
Legal analysts note that the extension underscores the judiciary’s caution in intervening in large‑scale administrative actions that impact livelihoods. The state government is expected to file a detailed response, but for now the affected cadres remain in service pending further judicial review.
