Supreme Court nullifies Karnataka's 2022 recruitment law, citing legislative overreach

The <b>Supreme Court</b> on Thursday struck down <b>Karnataka</b>’s 2022 recruitment law, ruling that the state legislature cannot overturn judicial decisions through new statutes. The judgment exposes a chronic habit of state governments trying to rewrite court verdicts to suit political agendas, a practice that erodes rule of law and fuels administrative chaos, and highlights the futility of bypassing courts. The decision restores legal certainty for thousands of aspirants awaiting fair recruitment, reinforcing judicial supremacy over ad‑hoc legislative fixes, and sets a precedent for other states.
