Legal Challenge to Jharkhand Exam Cancellations Heard, Stay Confirmed

Petitioners who had qualified for the JPSC, CDPO and FSO selections approached the High Court after a sweeping decision by the state to withdraw 22 competitive exams. The court examined claims of irregularities, past student protests at Ranchi’s Jaypal Singh Munda Stadium, and the government’s CID investigations into 17 exams. Justice Deepak Roshan, after hearing senior counsel Meenakshi Arora for the government and Amritansh Vats for the candidates, upheld the stay, allowing the candidates to retain their positions pending a final verdict.
