Repeal. SCHEDULE STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS I Act 14 of 1990.- Articles 309, 187 (2) and 229(2) of the Constitution of India provide for the recruitment and conditions of service of civil servants being regulated by law of the State Legislature. It is therefore considered desirable to make a law for this purpose. Since rules regulating the recruitment and conditions of service made under the Act relate to civil servants, the secretarial staff of the Karnataka State Legislature and conditions of service of the members of the establishment of the High Court, provision has been made in clause 3(2) for the previous publication of the rules and for ascertaining the views of the Presiding Officers of the Legislature and of the High Court before the rules are made. Provision has been made in clause 3 for continuance of the rules made before the commencement of the Act. The Vigilance Commissioner, the officers of the Vigilance Commission and other officers who may be required to conduct inquires into the conduct of civil servants will have to be invested with necessary powers to enable them to conduct the inquires properly. For this purpose, it is proposed to take power to invest such officers with certain powers of a civil court while trying a suit under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. In order to deal with corrupt civil servants in possession of assets disproportionate to their known sources of income for which they cannot satisfactorily account, it is considered necessary to have provision for presuming misconduct when it is proved that a civil servant is in possession of disproportionate assets. Provisions for said matters have been made in clause 5 of the Bill.

II Amending Act 17 of 2003.- It is considered necessary to reduce the period of 30 days specified in clause (a) of sub-section (2) of section 3 of the Karnataka State Civil Services Act, 1978 to 15 days in order to enable more expeditious completion of the process of making rules. Hence the Bill. [LA BILL No. 31 of 2002] [Entry 41 of List-II of Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India] III Amending Act 20 of 2010.- It is considered necessary to amend the Karnataka State Civil Services Act, 1978, to dispense with the requirement of previous publication of rules specifying only the number and nature of the posts created; and to replace the reference to the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947, in the explanation below sub- section (3) of section 5, with that of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (Central Act No.49 of 1988) which repealed the old Act.
