Supreme Court Invalidates Karnataka Law Validating 2011 Recruitment, Orders Fresh Hiring
The Supreme Court struck down Karnataka's 2022 law that validated the 2011 recruitment of gazetted probationers, citing rampant corruption and nepotism in the selection process. The court ruled that the legislature cannot override judicial decisions that had canceled the recruitment. It ordered termination of appointments made under the law and directed fresh recruitment with one-time age relaxation for eligible candidates. The ruling emphasized the importance of upholding constitutional court judgments over legislative actions.
