Recruitment exam row: Jharkhand HC gives government 48 hours to submit CID report
RANCHI: The Jharkhand High Court on Tuesday directed the state government to file its counter-affidavit by September 18 in a case challenging the cancellation of appointments made through the 11th and 13th Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) examinations.
Justice Deepak Roshan, hearing a batch of petitions challenging the government’s August 20 notifications, rejected the state’s request for four weeks to file its response and fixed September 18 as the next date of hearing.
Earlier, the court had sought the CID’s investigation report to clarify the facts on which the government based its decision to cancel the appointments. The government will now place details of the findings of the investigation and the action taken based on those findings before the court.
