Karnataka Cabinet Approves Governor’s Suspension of KPSC Chief

In a recent cabinet meeting, the Karnataka government approved the governor’s move to suspend the chief of the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC). The suspension follows allegations of misconduct and is intended to ensure the integrity of the commission’s operations. The decision was taken after the governor, Taawarchand Ghelot, exercised his discretionary powers under Article 312 of the Constitution. The KPSC will continue to function under an acting chief until a permanent replacement is appointed. The move has drawn attention to the need for transparent oversight of public service bodies in the state.
