Ranchi, July, 1: Former chief secretary of Jharkhand and ex-chairman of Jharkhand State Electricity Board Shiv Basant is all set to take charge as controversial Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) chairman on Friday. Basant’s request for the voluntary retirement was cleared by the concerned authority last week.
With his appointment JPSC will finally gets a fulltime chairman after Dilip Prasad who was sacked from the prestigious post in April 2010 after his involvement in the recruitment scam.

Top officials in the commission said that already delayed result of the 4th Combined Civil Services would be declared only after Basant takes their guard as chairman.
Present governing body in the JPSC may be feeling ill-prepared as far as the result of 4th preliminary exam is concerned.
A section of examinees had raised the question about considerable number of questions repeated that had already being asked in the UPSC PT examination.
The Controller of Examination of JPSC had recommended for reexamination, Basant’s decision would be extremely crucial in this matter.
The Jharkhand Government had on May 24 made their mind to appoint Basant as full-fledged chairman of the JPSC. Presently, there are only two members in the JPSC and one of them, Praveez Hassan, is officiating as acting chairman.
