Minorities Commission headless: Delhi HC seeks Central Govt response on “very important” PIL

The Delhi High Court issued notice to the Central Government in a PIL highlighting that the National Commission for Minorities remains headless for long, undermining its statutory mandate. The petition argues that absence of a full-time Chairperson impairs the Commission’s functioning. The Court asked the government to explain administrative delay and ensure prompt appointments. The decision underscores the importance of statutory bodies functioning with full complement, in the public interest.
