Ranchi, Dec 17: The Jharkhand High Court on Tuesday heard a petition seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level (JSSC CGL) examination paper leak case.
During the hearing, the court ordered a stay on the publication of the results of the Jharkhand General Graduate Level Combined Competitive Exam (JGGLCCE) 2023 until further orders. The court directed that the results should not be released until it issues further instructions.
The court instructed the state government to register an FIR under the Conduct of Examination Act 2023 based on complaints related to the JSSC CGL exam paper leak and to investigate and submit a report. This directive came in response to a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Rajesh Kumar.
