<p>The High Court on Tuesday accepted the report of the fact-finding committee on the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) recruitment scam and posted the case for final hearing, directing the lawyers to submit written arguments. <br /><br /></p>.<p>A division bench of Chief Justice D H Waghela and Justice B V Nagarathna directed the petitioners — the State and the selected candidates — to draw inference from the findings of the committee and make written submissions. “You should come out with a submission on what you propose to do with the candidates who have been selected wrongfully and what will you do with the permanent victims,” the Chief Justice told the government. <br /><br />The counsel for the KPSC sought adjournment but the bench refused and said: “The CID submitted its report in 2008. Why no action has been taken so far?” <br /><br />When the counsel for the KPSC said the credibility of a constitutional body (the KPSC) was at stake, the bench asked whether the KPSC was a victim or the cause of a victim. To this, the counsel replied that he did not know but assured the bench that he would come out with a solution. <br /><br />Stressing that there will not be any adjournment, the court directed the government to come out with a submission considering that some of the petitioners have spent a lot of time fighting in the court. “So many years have been spent. You should think of the petitioners who are ageing, while taking a decision. They are the permanent victims,” the Chief Justice said. <br /><br />The court also orally directed the government to ensure that the KPSC did not repeat such mistakes. </p>
