Karnataka High Court Questions Training Certificates for Motor Vehicle Inspector Recruitment
The Karnataka High Court criticized the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) and transport authorities for accepting certificates claiming candidates were trained on heavy goods and passenger vehicles with petrol engines, which have not existed in India for decades. The court found these certificates false and directed authorities to reconsider candidates rejected for lacking such experience, especially when private workshop certificates showed relevant training. This ruling followed petitions by candidates seeking appointment as Motor Vehicle Inspectors after a revised selection list was published in 2023.
