Compilation Vol 3 Corrected (1-943).pmd - Goa Public Service ...

FOREWORD
It is really a matter of pride and privilege for me to be at the helm of affairs of the Karnataka Public
Service Commission while bringing out the III Volume of Compilation of Judgments pertaining to
Public Service Commissions. The feeling is one of achieving a hat-trick after bringing out Volumes I &
II of Compilation of Judgments. Realising the usefulness and utility of Volumes I & II of Compilation
of Judgments, the 11th National Conference of Chairpersons of State Public Service Commissions
held on 8th and 9th of January 2009 at Thiruvananthapuram, passed a resolution and entrusted the task
of bringing out Volume-III of Compilation of Judgments having a bearing on the role and functioning of
the Public Service Commissions to the Karnataka Public Service Commission. I sincerely thank them
for reposing faith in Karnataka Public Service Commission.
As in the case of earlier two volumes extreme care has been taken to include in this Compilation
judgments covering a wide range of issues of facts as well as law that confront the Public Service
Commissions in their role and functioning as Selecting Authorities.
The judgments are arranged in chronological order first pertaining to Union Public Service
Commission and then State Public Service Commissions in alphabetical order as indicated in the
Index. To facilitate easy and quick reference, Public Service Commission-wise Index and Subjectwise
Index are given. Full texts of judgments reported in Law Journals which have all India circulation
are not printed but only citation with gist of each judgment is given as in Volumes-I & II of Compilation.
The 11th National Conference of Chairpersons of State Public Service Commissions held on 8th and 9th January 2009 at Thiruvananthapuram, had passed a resolution to constitute a Legal Committee
consisting of Chairpersons of 8 State Public Service Commissions as Members to find out the reasons
for increase in the number of court cases and to suggest ways and means to reduce the court cases. I
am glad to mention that this Legal Committee has submitted its Report which is included under Journal
Section of this III Volume of Compilation.
I thank the Chairman of the 11th National Conference of State Public Service Commissions Prof.
D.P.Agrawal and my brother/sister Chairpersons of various Public service Commissions for having
entrusted the responsibility of bringing out Volume-III of Compilation also. I also thank Union Public
Service Commission and various State Public Service Commissions who have assisted the Karnataka
Public Service Commission in bringing out this Compilation by sending copies of judgments relating to
the functioning of Public Service Commissions.
I thank Prof. D.P.Agrawal, Chairman of Union Public Service Commission and Chairman of 12 th
National Conference of State Public Service Commission for having graciously agreed and released
this book on the occasion of the 12 th National Conference held on 20 th and 21 st February 2010 at the
Union Public Service Commission premises, New Delhi.
