UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R

We have perused our order dated 27th February, 2025. The relevant part of the order reads thus:

"There were number of applications filed before the Administrative Tribunal challenging the process conducted on the basis of notification dated 18th August, 2016. We direct the KSPC to examine the cases of all the applicants who challenged the recruitment process on the basis of the notification dated 18th August, 2006. By sending notices to the said applicants, firstly the KSPC will ascertain whether any of them are interested in securing employment. In case of those who state that they are interested in securing employment, the KSPC will examine whether all of them were possessing qualification mentioned in clause 3 of Notification dated 19th June, 1989 as well as qualification in clause (2) (of possessing driving licences) in Notification dated 18th August, 2006. The KSPC shall inform the Court by filing an affidavit that how many of them possess both qualifications."

There are typographical errors in the order. "KSPC" shall be read as "KPSC". In the fourth line of the order which we have quoted above, the date of the Notification shall be corrected as "18th August, 2006".

The Karnataka Public Service Commission (for short "KPSC") should have done the first exercise of ascertaining the names of the applicants who had challenged the recruitment process on the basis of the Notification dated 18th August, 2006. In the affidavit of compliance filed by Mr. Ramandeep Chowdhary, I.A.S., there is no averment that any one did the exercise of examining who were the applicants who had challenged the recruitment process on the basis of the Notification dated 18th August, 2006. This was the first step for compliance with the order of this Court.

5

We direct the KPSC to undertake that exercise and after ascertaining the names of the applicants, issue notice in terms of the order of this Court. We grant time of six weeks to the KPSC to comply with this direction and file a fresh affidavit.

List on 31st July, 2025.
