Bengaluru: The State cabinet has approved ‘Karnataka Public Examinations Bill (Measures for Prevention of Corruption and Unfair Practises)-2023 which facilitates a provision of 12 years imprisonment and a fine of up to Rs.10 crore for those who indulge in irregularities in Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) and other examinations held by the State Government to fill the vacant or additional posts.
This Act is being brought out by the Government following continuous reports of alleged corruption and malpractices during examinations held for the post of Police Sub-Inspectors, Asst. Professors and the recently held examinations for First Division Assistants. The Bill is being brought to prevent such irregularities in future. The State Cabinet has given its assent to the Bill at its meeting held in Bengaluru, last week.
