Karnataka HC to appoint SIT chief for KPSC probe on Monday

The Karnataka High Court will appoint a new chief for the Special Investigation Team investigating alleged irregularities in the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) recruitment process, marking a significant development in the high-profile probe. The nomination is scheduled for Monday, according to official sources. The move comes as the state government issued a notification declaring the SIT as a designated police station, a procedural step that expands its investigative jurisdiction and operational authority. The KPSC irregularities have drawn considerable public attention, with allegations of malpractices in the competitive examination process affecting thousands of aspirants across the state. The establishment of the SIT as a formal police station is expected to enhance coordination with law enforcement agencies and facilitate a more comprehensive investigation into the reported anomalies. The appointment of a new SIT head by the high court underscores the judiciary's oversight role in ensuring the integrity of the inquiry process.
