However, the bench went on to note that the proposal to appoint two members as Counsellors is pending and the appointment to other posts is requiring intervention of the court- "We hope and trust that the department concerned, particularly the Department of Women and Child Development, Government of Maharashtra would take the requisite measure and ensure that the Commission works in its full strength in the interest of particularly the women in the State. It is not the job and function of this court to ensure that bodies like the Maharashtra State Women Commission function and work smoothly and effectively in order to fulfill the object and purpose of establishing them.
