‘Public losing faith in exam system’: No advance bail for Karnataka PSC chief

The Karnataka High Court expressed concern over the erosion of public trust in India's examination system due to widespread fraud, citing cases like the NEET exam where meritorious students faced severe consequences. The court dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of Sahukar S Shivashankarappa, the suspended chairman of the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC), who is accused of orchestrating a systematic fraud in the recruitment of veterinary doctors. The court emphasized the involvement of Shivashankarappa's family members, the exam controller, and middlemen in the scam. The ruling highlighted the seriousness of the allegations against Shivashankarappa, noting that the case remains under investigation. Shivashankarappa had previously been suspended by the Karnataka Governor over a separate fraud related to his daughter's recruitment.
