The Delhi High Court strongly criticised the Centre for failing to provide a clear timeline to fill key vacancies in the National Commission for Minorities. Calling the response vague, the Court warned of strict action and sought an explanation within two weeks.
The Delhi High Court refused to issue directions on a plea seeking appointment of minorities other than Muslims and Sikhs as NCM head, allowing the petitioner to approach the Central government instead. The Court said the law only requires members to belong to minority communities, not any particular one.
