The Jharkhand High Court has stayed the state government's order cancelling the competitive examinations following petitions from successful candidates. Protests had previously erupted across Ranchi and reached the state secretariat demanding an examination cancellation and an investigation into alleged irregularities. In response to the unrest, the state administration had ordered the cancellation of the exams. However, candidates who cleared the test on merit and received job recruitment letters approached the court to protect their employment. The High Court's interim order halts the cancellation process while further legal options remain open for the government and protesters.
