Approach government: Delhi High Court on PIL to appoint non-Muslim, non-Sikh as Minorities Commission head

The Delhi High Court heard a PIL seeking directions to the government to appoint someone who is neither a Muslim nor a Sikh as the head of the National Commission for Minorities (NCM), raising debate over representation and the statutory requirement under the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992. The petition underscores issues of minority representation, governance structure of oversight bodies and the interpretative scope of statutory criteria rather than explicit religious tests.
