Amidst protests by opposition Congress members, the State Legislative Assembly passed four Bills, including the Karnataka Civil Services (Validation of Selection and Appointment of 2011 batch Gazetted Probationers), Bill, 2022 on February 21.
The civil services bill was passed for validating the recruitment of 362 gazetted ‘probationers’ of the 2011 KAS batch, Group A and B, selected by the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC).
The Bill is aimed at annulling the action taken by the previous government without proper approval of the State legislature.
