Jharkhand Public Service Commission vacancy dispute

Overview

The Jharkhand High Court criticized the state government for failing to fill leadership vacancies within the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC). The court emphasized that the chairmanship of the constitutional body should not remain vacant for extended periods, noting the position has been empty since July 21 following the departure of former chairman L Khiangte. This vacancy follows a period of instability marked by the resignation of three JPSC members due to protests regarding recruitment irregularities. The court has requested a timeline from the government for filling these posts.
