Jharkhand High Court Reviews Challenges to State's Cancellation of Recruitment Exams
The Jharkhand High Court is reviewing petitions from candidates challenging the state government's cancellation of recruitment exams conducted by the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission and Public Service Commission. The government issued a notification on August 18 canceling around 23 exams due to alleged irregularities, leading to termination notices for successful candidates. Petitioners argue the cancellation was arbitrary and that due process was not followed, while the court has stayed terminations and scheduled further hearings.
