High Court Blocks Jharkhand Job Cancellation Amid Protest
· India · Times of India, Hindustan Times, Indian Express
The High Court stayed the Jharkhand government order canceling the jobs of employees appointed through the 11th and 13th JPSC exams. Student leaders of the JPSC-JSSC Reform Manch, who had staged a peaceful protest in Ranchi for 26 days, condemned the decision as irregular. The students argued that the advocate general representing the government did not appear in the High Court hearing the PIL challenging the cancellations, and no senior advocate was present. The student leaders claim the cancellation was a trap designed to end their protest and declare a new fight against the government. The High Court’s stay halts the job cancellations pending further investigation.
Why it matters
The cancellation affects thousands of newly appointed civil servants, and the court’s stay protects their job security while the controversy over recruitment irregularities may influence future state hiring practices.
