The Supreme Court will hear a plea seeking a time-bound CBI probe into alleged malpractices in the Jharkhand Combined Civil Services Preliminary Examination.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on Monday a plea seeking an independent and time-bound CBI investigation into alleged irregularities and malpractices in the Jharkhand Combined Civil Services Preliminary Examination.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana is likely to hear the petition filed by activist Harisharan Devgan through advocate Satyam Singh Rajput.

The plea has been filed under Article 32 of the Constitution, raising concerns over the fairness, transparency and credibility of the examination conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC).

The petitioner has sought the transfer of the investigation from the state CID to the Central Bureau of Investigation, arguing that an independent agency is required to ensure an impartial probe.
