SC appoints amicus, issues notice in plea challenging Bihar PSC Chairman

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on Monday appointed an amicus curiae and issued formal notice to the State of Bihar challenging the appointment of State Public Service Commission Ravi Manubhai Parmar. Narasimha and Manoj Misra appointed advocate Vanshaja Shukla as the amicus curiae in the petition filed by advocate Brajesh Singh to declare the appointment as “illegal and void”. Mr. Singh argued that the appointment defied the mandate of Article 316 of the Constitution which “impliedly requires only a person with impeccable integrity should be appointed as Chairman or Member of Public Service Commission”. “Thus, apparently respondent number 2 is facing serious charges of committing offences of corruption and forgery, and as such his integrity is doubtful and therefore in such circumstances he ought not to have been appointed Chairman of Bihar Public Service Commission… It cannot be the case the State government would not be aware about the criminal antecedents of respondent number 2,” the petition said.
