The Jharkhand High Court has issued an interim order staying the state government's notification that cancelled the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission's Combined Graduate Level recruitment, allowing the hiring process to continue.
The Jharkhand High Court has stayed the state government's notification that sought to cancel the recruitment of personnel through the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission's Combined Graduate Level (JSSC‑CGL) exam. The interim order halts the cancellation and permits the selection process to move forward while the matter is examined further.
The recruitment drive, announced earlier this year, was intended to fill a range of posts across various state departments. Candidates who had applied and cleared the preliminary stages were awaiting the next phases of the selection procedure.
By staying the cancellation, the court has ensured that aspirants are not deprived of the opportunity to secure government jobs pending a final decision. The state government may file a review petition or seek clarification on the grounds for the original notification.
The decision is expected to provide relief to thousands of candidates who had prepared for the JSSC‑CGL exam, and it underscores the judiciary's role in overseeing administrative actions that affect employment opportunities.
