Two-judge bench questions delay, seeks accountability from ministry over prolonged inaction on key appointments

- UDAYAN KISHORE @New Delhi

THE Delhi HC on Friday pulled up the Central government for failing to provide a timeline for filling up the vacant posts of chairperson and members in the National Commission for Minorities (NCM) and for taking the “court for a ride.”

A bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia asked the deputy secretary in the Union Ministry of Minority Affairs to explain the lapse within two weeks, after noting that the fresh affidavit filed by the government failed to describe the timeline despite previous directions.
