Jharkhand HC Issues Notice Over Civil Services Exam Merit List
The Jharkhand High Court is looking into complaints about the merit list for civil service jobs.
Some candidates believe the list is unfair because of how the test papers were graded.
They claim that rules were broken, like using a digital grading system when it's not allowed, and using an unknown company to grade the papers.
They also say that the people who graded the tests didn't have enough experience.
The candidates want the court to make the test graders look at the papers again and fix the list.
The court has told the Jharkhand Public Service Commission to respond to the concerns.
The next hearing is scheduled for July.
