HC lifts stay order on KPSC recruitment process

The High Court on Friday recalled its earlier order staying the Karnataka Public Service Commission’s (KPSC) examination process for recruiting ‘C’ and ‘D’ category staff.

The Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Vikramajit Sen and Justice B V Nagarathna recalled the stay order after the counsel for the KPSC submitted that there is a need to continue the examination process as it is in the public’s interest.

Earlier, the State government submitted that it has identified posts for the disabled as identified by the Union government and, also some posts which are not suggested by the Union government.

Advocate General Vijay Shankar said that there are some posts in the State government which do not exist in the Union government and, such posts will be identified.

He also submitted that the State government will form an expert committee comprising officials of various departments and Commissioner for Persons with Disability to identify such posts.

The Bench directed the authorities that this exercise shall  be complete in six months from November 16.
