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.
The Delhi High Court has criticized the Central government for leaving the National Commission for Minorities without a chairperson and members for months. The court urges immediate action to restore the commission’s leadership and protect minority rights.
