Petitioners Challenge Jharkhand Government’s Decision to Void JSSC‑CGL Selections

A group of 99 candidates, led by Akash Gaurav, approached the High Court alleging that the state’s cancellation of JSSC‑CGL appointments is arbitrary and violates their right to the positions secured through merit.

Legal counsel for the petitioners, former Advocate General Rajiv Ranjan and Advocate Shrey Mishra, argued that the decision was based on unverified allegations and that the candidates deserve immediate relief.

The court’s interim stay provides temporary protection to the selected candidates while it scrutinizes the factual matrix presented by the government and the JSSC.
