The petitioner argued that this delay affects the institution's efficiency and governance. The High Court emphasized the urgency in filling the position to ensure the institution's smooth functioning and service delivery. The court has mandated the concerned authorities to expedite the appointment process and ensure that a qualified individual is selected promptly.
