The Jharkhand High Court on Friday stayed the state government's notifications cancelling appointments made through the JSSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) examination and the recruitment of Child Development Project Officers (CDPOs). The order brings relief to about 1,932 candidates selected through the exam, news.abplive.com and indiatvnews.com report. The court had earlier stayed the cancellation of the 11th and 13th JPSC examinations and Food Safety Officer recruitments.
The Hemant Soren-led government had on August 18 cancelled 22 recruitment examinations and ordered probes into 23 others conducted since 2014, following a 25-day agitation over alleged irregularities. The court's intervention has now paused several of those cancellations. indiatoday.in reports that the court has sought responses from the state government and JPSC, with the next hearing scheduled for September 15. Outlook India and rediff.com report that successful candidates who had already joined service are now protesting against the cancellations.
rediff.com notes that the CID's Special Investigation Team has interrogated 37 suspects in connection with alleged irregularities in the JSSC Graduate Level Combined Competitive Examination 2023. BJP leader Champai Soren has blamed the state government, while the JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch has questioned the government's absence from the court proceedings, rediff.com adds.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The coverage shows a clear divide in emphasis. indiatvnews.com frames the HC order as a 'setback for Hemant Soren govt', leading with the number of candidates relieved. ABP Live and India Today take a neutral reporting stance, focusing on the legal sequence and the government's earlier cancellation. Rediff.com and Outlook India highlight the continuing protests by successful candidates and the CID probe, giving voice to opposition criticism. The common ground is that the court has paused several but not all cancellations. A careful reader should note that the high court's stay is interim, and the September 15 hearing will determine the final outcome for the 22 cancelled exams.
