No: 35 Dated: Oct, 19 2020

Karnataka State Civil Services (prohibition of Absorption of the Services of the Employees of the Establishments in public Sector in to public service) Act, 2020.

An Act to Provide for prohibition of absorption of the service of the employees of establishments in public sector into posts in the various departments of Government or Civil services;

Whereas the establishments in public sector face closure due to various reason and the employees of such establishments in public sector tend to demand that their services be absorbed against posts in the civil services of the State and approach courts seeking absorption of their services;

Whereas the rules regulating the recruitment and conditions of service and the scales of pay applicable to Government servants are different from those applicable to the employees of establishments in public sector and are often irreconcilable. Such absorption of the employees of establishments in public sector would result in an enormous drain on the finances of the State seriously affecting the developmental programmes of the State and hence it is against public interest;

And whereas it is expedient to provide for prohibition of absorption of employees of such establishments in public sector in to Civil Services of the State and for the matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.

Be it enacted by the Karnataka State Legislature in the Seventy first year of the Republic of India, as follows:-

1. Short title and commencement.- (1) This Act may be called the Karnataka State Civil Services (prohibition of Absorption of the Services of the Employees of the Establishments in public Sector in to public service) Act, 2020.

(2) It shall come in to force on such date as the State Government may, by notification in the official Gazette, appoint.
