Ranchi: The process for the appointment to high school teachers, which started in 2016, will take more time to get completed due to legal intricacies.
In a fresh development, the Supreme Court has directed Chief Secretary Sukhdev Singh, to prepare a merit list including those who have been already appointed and those who have become the original petitioners in this matter after the public notice of the high court.
The order came from a division bench headed by Justice MR Shah after the bench heard a contempt petition of Soni Kumari and others.
On behalf of Soni Kumari, it was said that the order of the Supreme Court was to revise the merit list subjectwise and category-wise according to the published cut-off of the last selected candidate, which was not published in this way by the state government and the JSSC.
This is a violation of the order of the Supreme Court. On behalf of Soni Kumari, senior advocates Ranjit Kumar and Lalit Kumar Singh appeared. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal appeared on behalf of the state government.
