Jharkhand High Court Orders Government to Appoint JPSC Chairman and Members Within Two Months
The Jharkhand High Court has set a two-month deadline for the state government to appoint the chairman and members of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC). The court, hearing a suo motu petition, highlighted that vacancies have delayed recruitment across government departments. Former JPSC chairman L. Khiangte was arrested following protests over alleged exam irregularities, leading to the resignation of all commission members. The court directed a compliance report by November 18 and will review the matter on November 19.
