.The Peteition challenged the Appointment of of Former PSC Chairman Dr H N
Krishna (A Dentist) as the State Information Commissioner . The HC will hear
the case again on September 30 .
Advocate General Udaya Holla told the HC that the State Info Commissioner is
a Constitutional Post and not Controlled by the Government . There is No Bar in
Appointing an Ex PSC Chairman as KIC Commissioner . He Said
The Petitioner has claimed thart Krishna was involved in a recuricutment scam
related to Group A and B posts while he was KPSC Chairman .
Article 319(B) of the Constitution also bans Ex Chairman of any Public Service
Commission to Work for the Government after Retirement .
PS : ( Our RTI Study Centre has learnt from Reliable Sources that the
Governor's Obtained an Legal Opnion from the Advocate Udaya Holla in his
Previous Stint , The Opnion is on the lines that at the Time of Framing
Article 319(B) of the Constitution , our Framers had not Thought of an
INformation Commission will be Established . ) ---- { how Ridiculous ??}

Former KPSC Chairman during Recuitment of KAS officers during the year 1998
