Overview

  • Justice Sameer Jain nullified the entire 2021 Sub-Inspector selection after finding a widespread paper leak, dummy candidates and distribution networks, with RPSC members implicated.
  • The court directed that all 2021 vacancies be folded into the ongoing 2025 recruitment and said candidates from the scrapped cycle can sit for the new exam.
  • Separately, the High Court allowed over-age 2021 applicants to apply for the 2025 drive, for which RPSC has notified about 1,015 posts with applications open until September 8 and the test slated for April 5, 2026.
  • The state government had urged action only against 68 identified candidates and opposed cancellation, a position the court rejected in favor of protecting the integrity of the process.
  • Selected candidates say they will appeal, while probes continue with arrests that include over 50 trainee SIs and former RPSC member Ramu Ram Raika among those accused.
