JPSC to issue notification

During the hearing, a division bench comprising Chief Justice Tarlok Singh Chauhan and Justice Rajesh Shankar heard the arguments of both the JPSC and the JSSC.

Advocate Sanjay Piprawal, representing the JSSC, filed an affidavit during the hearing. He stated that no requisition for the appointment of Class III staff had yet been received from Ranchi University. Consequently, the selection process could not be initiated.
