There are no
guidelines for making appointments to the posts of chairpersons and members of
any State Public Service Commissions or the Union Public Service Commission,
the State Advocate-General told the Karnataka High Court on Monday.
A-G Ravivarma
Kumar made submissions on this during the hearing of a PIL petition, which
sought a direction to the authorities concerned to frame guidelines prior to
appointing the chairperson and other members of the Karnataka Public Service
Commission (KPSC).
He told the
court that a request for framing guidelines has been sent to the Union
government. Further hearing of the petition has been adjourned.
Ladies
Club
The High
Court on Monday stayed the order of the Karnataka Information Commission, which
had declared the Ladies Club, Bengaluru as a “public authority” coming under
the purview of the Right to Information Act.
Justice S.
Abdul Nazeer passed the interim order on the petition filed by the club, which
has questioned the January 23, 2015 order of the KIC. The KIC had passed the
order on a complaint by one S. Umapathi. The KIC had also directed the club to
appoint a ‘Public Information Officer’ as stipulated under Sec.5(1) and the
‘Appellate Authority’ under Sec.19(1) of the of RTI Act.
