Kerala Public Service Commission Under Fire for Lack of Transparency in Recruitment Process

In a controversial move, the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) has declined to reveal important records regarding the recruitment of the Chief Industry and Infrastructure post in the Kerala State Planning Board, despite a directive from the State Information Commission. This decision has sparked fresh debates on transparency in public recruitment processes.
The PSC’s refusal to disclose the documents has led to criticism, especially as the Kerala government has initiated a probe by the Crime Branch Police. The Commission’s rejection of the applicant’s request for the records has raised concerns about the transparency of the recruitment process.
Candidates have alleged that the PSC’s intention to challenge the Information Commission’s order in a higher legal forum is an attempt to delay the disclosure of crucial information. This move has further fueled suspicions among candidates regarding the transparency and fairness of the recruitment process.
