The Jharkhand High Court on Thursday stayed the notifications cancelling the 11th to 13th Jharkhand Public Service Commission ( JPSC ) Combined Civil Services Examination and the Food Safety Officer recruitment examination, along with related appointments.
The notification cancelling the JPSC 11th to 13th Civil Services and Food Safety Officer examinations also included the cancellation of the Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) examination. The interim order passed by Justice Deepak Roushan brought relief to around 400 successful candidates — 342 under JPSC and 54 under the Food Safety Officer recruitment — whose career prospects were left hanging after the state government’s sudden decision to scrap the recruitment processes.
“The Honorable Court stayed the operations of the state government’s notifications cancelling the JPSC 11th to 13th Civil Services and Food Safety Officer recruitment exams,” advocate Sinha submitted.
