RAIPUR: The Chhattisgarh high court has directed that the appointment of 18 PSC-selected candidates, who are close relatives of the top brass of the state Public Service Commission (PSC), other bureaucrats, politicians, and businessmen, would be subject to the final outcome of the petition challenging their selection.
A division bench, comprising chief justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice NK Chandravanshi, gave these directions while hearing a petition filed by BJP veteran and former state Home Minister Nankiram Kanwar. The petition demanded a high-level probe, preferably by the CBI, into the selection of candidates.
