Supreme Court Allows Karnataka HC To Proceed With Direct Recruitment Of 158 Civil Judges Ignoring State Govt's Circular

The Supreme Court of India allowed the Karnataka High Court to proceed with the direct recruitment of 158 civil judges, despite the state government’s circular opposing the move. The case concerned the recruitment process for civil judges in the state, which had been delayed due to bureaucratic hurdles. The state government had issued a circular to halt the recruitment, but the Supreme Court disagreed with this stance, emphasizing that the judicial process should not be hindered by unnecessary administrative delays. The court's decision ensures the timely filling of judicial vacancies in the state.
