Karnataka High Court quashes KPSC chairman's suspension by Governor

The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday quashed the suspension of Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) chairperson Shivashankarappa Sahukar imposed by Governor Thawarchand Gehlot. The court held that the prescribed legal procedure was not followed in issuing the suspension order.

The judgment marks a setback for the Governor's action against the KPSC chief, with the court finding procedural deficiencies in the manner of his suspension.
