Karnataka High Court Quashes KPSC Chairman's Suspension Over Procedural Grounds
The Karnataka High Court quashed the suspension of KPSC Chairman Shivashankarappa S Sahukar, ruling that the Governor's order lacked mandatory Cabinet approval. Sahukar was suspended on allegations of conflict of interest involving his daughters' selection through KPSC. The court held that the Governor acted without the State Cabinet's aid and advice, which is required under Article 317 of the Constitution. Sahukar was ordered to be reinstated with full benefits, while the court recommended the President refer complaints to the Supreme Court for inquiry.
