ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II Polity: the independence of Public Service Commissions versus accountability for recruitment irregularities. Article 315 creates the body and Article 317 gives members security of tenure, so a court-ordered SIT probe raises questions on the limits of judicial and executive scrutiny over a constitutional body. The way forward is transparent recruitment, timely results and internal vigilance, while preserving the Commission's autonomy.
