The Supreme Court on Monday refused to interfere with the Jharkhand High Court's decision permitting the declaration of results and the appointment of successful candidates in the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission's (JSSC) Combined Graduate Level (CGL) examination.

A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta dismissed the special leave petitions (SLPs) challenging the Jharkhand High Court's order, observing that the ruling was "correct and balanced" and required no interference from the apex court.

The SLPs arose from a decision of the Jharkhand High Court, which had allowed the JSSC to publish the final result of the CGL examination and proceed with appointments, while keeping the results of 10 suspected candidates in abeyance pending completion of investigation by the Special Investigation Team (SIT).

In its detailed judgment passed on December 3, the Jharkhand High Court vacated its earlier stay order and directed the respondent-JSSC to publish the final result.
