The High Court of Karnataka has directed the State government to immediately undertake a recruitment drive to fill-up all the backlog vacancies in all the departments and institutions, and accomplish the task of filling-up backlog vacancies immediately within an outer limit of six months.
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Prasanna B. Varale and Justice Krishna S. Dixit issued the direction after noticing that backlog vacancies were not filled up for decades in certain government-run institutions despite the specific directions issued by the government to fillip up vacancies as well the directions issued by the High Court to the Social Welfare Department last year.
