    Hon'ble Mr. Justice Deepak RoshanView PDF

    The Jharkhand High Court rejected a writ petition by 19 civil service exam aspirants challenging Resolution No. 1093 (21.02.2026), which fixed the age cutoff date as 01.08.2022 for the 2025 Combined Civil Services examination. The petitioners claimed the resolution was arbitrary and violated Article 14, arguing inconsistent cutoff dates in previous examinations (01.08.2016 for 2021 and 01.08.2017 for 2024). However, Justice Deepak Roshan dismissed the petition, finding the issue was already decided against the petitioners in a prior judgment (L.P.A. No. 202 of 2026) and no relief could be granted.
