The Jharkhand High Court has overturned the state government's decision to cancel the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level (JSSC-CGL) examination, providing relief to candidates who had cleared the exam. The court ruled that the government's decision to cancel the examination and the appointments made on its basis was 'unfair and unjust'. The court's decision came after the state government had cancelled the JSSC-CGL examination and other recruitment tests in August 2026, citing allegations of irregularities and protests by candidates. The court has allowed the ongoing Criminal Investigation Department (CID) probe into individual cases of exam malpractice and fraud to continue, with the final appointment of the recruits subject to the outcome of the investigation.
