Rajasthan High Court on Monday directed that the status quo be maintained on Sub-Inspector Recruitment Exam-2021, as it issued notices to government authorities to submit their reply on the matter, a lawyer said.
The court of Justice Sameer Jain has issued notice to the Home Department, Rajasthan DGP, Secretary of Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) and ADG of Special Operations Group (SOG).
“The court has directed to maintain the status quo on the sub-inspector recruitment exam-2021. With this, there will be a sword hanging on the passing out parade and field posting of the trainees recruited in the exam,” advocate Harendra Neel said.
He said the recruitment test was held to fill 859 vacancies. A total of 150 people, including 50 trainee sub-inspectors and two RPSC members have been arrested by the police.
Police headquarters and the advocate general have recommended that the exam be cancelled, but those who were selected and underwent training are about to be posted soon, he said.
A cabinet committee of six ministers was formed on October 1 to decide whether to cancel the exam. The case is being investigated by the Special Operations Group (SOG) of Rajasthan Police.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Jogaram Patel has been made the convener of the six-member cabinet committee constituted to review the SI recruitment examination.
