Supreme Court Declares Karnataka's 2022 Recruitment Validation Law Unconstitutional
The Supreme Court struck down Karnataka's 2022 law that validated appointments from the tainted 2011 recruitment of over 300 Group A and B posts, citing rampant corruption and nepotism in the selection process. The court ruled the legislation unconstitutional, stating the legislature cannot override judicial decisions that had canceled the recruitment. It ordered fresh recruitment under existing rules with a one-time age relaxation for eligible candidates, including those affected by the earlier process.
