(Received the assent of the Governor on the 03rd day of September 2026)
An Act further to amend the Karnataka Sakaala Services Act, 2011.
Whereas, it is expedient further to amend the Karnataka Sakaala Services
Act, 2011 (Karnataka Act 1 of 2012) for the purposes hereinafter appearing;
Be it enacted by the Karnataka State Legislature in the seventy-seventh year
of the Republic of India as follows:-
1. Short title and commencement.- (1) This Act may be called the
Karnataka Sakaala Services (Amendment) Act, 2026.
(2) It shall come into force at once.
2 Substitution of section 4.- In the Karnataka Sakaala Services Act, 2011
(Karnataka Act 1 of 2012) (herein after referred to as the Principal Act, for section
4, the following shall be substituted, namely:-
"4. Notification of services, designated officers, competent officers,
appellate authority, stipulated time limits, rate of compensatory cost and rate
of punitive cost.- The Government may within a period of three months from the
date of commencement of the Karnataka Sakaala Services (Amendment) Act, 2026,
by notification, amend the Schedule to add new services, designated officers of
every public authority or Local Authority under each Secretariat Department,
competent officer and appellate authority along with stipulated time limits within
which the services are rendered under this Act, the rate and maximum amount of
compensatory cost payable under section 9, and the rate and maximum amount of
punitive cost, including any enhanced rate for a repeat offence, payable under
section 13-B, and may by like notification amend or vary the entries in the
7
Schedule, including the rate and maximum amount of compensatory cost and
punitive cost so specified."
3. Substitution of section 9.- In the Principal Act, for section 9, the
following shall be substituted, namely:-
“9. Liability to pay compensatory cost.- Every Appellate Authority or
Competent Officer or designated officer or his subordinate public servant who fails
to deliver or dispose the citizen related services or appeals of a citizen within the
stipulated time shall be liable to pay compensatory cost at the rate of twenty rupees
per day for the period of delay subject to a maximum of five hundred rupees per
application, in aggregate, or at such rate and subject to such maximum amount as
may, from time to time, be specified in the Schedule, if there is no ban or restriction
from the Government to provide the same.”
4. Insertion of new sections 13A and 13B.- In the Principal Act, after
section 13, the following new sections shall be inserted, namely:-
“13-A. Revision and other powers of Government.- (1) Notwithstanding
anything contained in section 12 or section 13, the Government may, at any time,
of its own motion, for the purpose of satisfying itself as to the legality or propriety
of any order passed by the Appellate Authority under section 12 or section 13,
where the case discloses gross injustice to the citizen or to the public servant
concerned, withdraw to itself any such proceeding pending before, or decided by,
the Appellate Authority, at any stage, and pass such order thereon as it deems fit,
or remit the proceeding for disposal in accordance with such directions as it may
issue:
Provided that, no order under this sub-section prejudicial to any person shall
be passed without giving such person a reasonable opportunity of being heard.
Provided further that, no proceeding shall be initiated under this section after
the expiry of three months from the date of the order sought to be revised.
(2) Where, on revision under this section, it is established that the service to
the citizen was delayed or was otherwise deficient, and that the citizen was, on this
account, wrongly denied compensatory cost, the citizen shall become eligible to
receive compensatory cost, which shall be recoverable from the officer concerned
in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
(3) An order passed under this section shall be final and shall not be called
in question in any court.
8
(4) The Government may issue general or specific directions to any public
authority or public servant for the purpose of avoiding delay or deficiency in the
provision of citizen related services, and every public authority or public servant to
whom such direction is issued shall comply with the same.
(5) The Government may issue general directions to any public authority or
public servant for the improvement of business processes relating to the delivery
of citizen related services, and for policy reforms bearing on the implementation of
this Act.
(6) The administrative department entrusted with the administration of this
Act may, for the purpose of carrying out the functions mandated under this Act,
requisition the services of any public servant serving in any public authority, and
such public servant shall, upon being so requisitioned, be deemed to work with the
said administrative department for the said purpose, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in any other law or in the service rules applicable to such
public servant.
13-B. Cost for malicious or vexatious complaint or grievance.- (1) Where
the Competent Officer or the Appellate Authority, while inquiring into a complaint
of default or a grievance under this Act, or the Government, while exercising its
powers of revision under section 13-A over an order of the Appellate Authority,
records a finding that such complaint or grievance was made maliciously or
vexatiously, knowing it to be false or without any reasonable basis, or with the
intent to malign a public servant or to pressure or blackmail another citizen, the
authority so recording the finding may, by order in writing and for reasons to be
recorded, impose on the citizen making such complaint or grievance a cost not
exceeding such amount as may, from time to time, be specified in the Schedule:
Provided that no order under this section shall be passed without giving the
citizen concerned a reasonable opportunity of being heard.
(2) Where a citizen has, upon a finding recorded under sub-section (1),
already been visited with a cost on an earlier occasion, and is subsequently found,
upon a like finding, to have made a further complaint or grievance maliciously or
vexatiously, the cost imposable on such subsequent occasion shall not be less than
the amount specified in the Schedule under sub-section (1), and may extend to
such higher amount as may, from time to time, be specified in the Schedule for
repeated offences.
9
(3) A cost imposed under this section shall be recoverable from the citizen
concerned as an arrear of land revenue.
(4) An order imposing a cost under this section may be passed by the
Competent Officer, the Appellate Authority, or the Government at any level of
appeal or revision under this Act and shall be subject to the same provisions of
appeal and revision under this Act as would apply to an order imposing
compensatory cost.”
5. Substitution of section 18.- In the Principal Act, for section 18, the
following shall be substituted, namely:-
“18. Bar of Jurisdiction.- No Civil court shall have jurisdiction in respect of
any matter which the competent officer or appellate authority or Government, is
empowered by or under this Act to determine.”
