The Supreme Court intervened to stay a recent order passed by the Karnataka High Court. The High Court had directed the constitution of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look into alleged irregularities in the recruitment processes conducted by the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC).
By staying the order, the apex court has effectively put on hold any fresh probe that the SIT was supposed to undertake. The matter will now await further directions from the Supreme Court.
The development comes amid ongoing scrutiny of KPSC recruitment practices, which have been subject to allegations of impropriety. No additional details about the nature of the alleged irregularities were provided in the order that was stayed.
