Taking note of the rejection of an application of a candidate for the post of motor vehicle inspector due to a wrong report given by the medical board set up by the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC), the High Court of Karnataka has directed the State government to set up a permanent medical board for examination of candidates for all recruitments done through the KPSC.
“It is high time for the State Government to appoint a permanent medical board to ensure that there must be transparency in the selection process instead of giving a free hand to the KPSC to choose a medical board and experts in all the recruitments to be conducted by the KPSC,” the court said.
The need to set up a permanent medical board by the government was to ensure that a genuine candidate should not be deprived of opportunity and justice needs to be done in all fairness to all the candidates in a transparent manner, the court observed.
