The PIL mentions the Commission was constituted on March 6, 2001 and it consists of chairman, a judicial member, an expert member, one secretary and one special IGP. “There have been no regular appointments made from July 2018 onwards. On April 27, 2021, the acting chairperson, the only adjudicating member retired,” it says. On May 25, 2021, Ms. Gholave filed a Right to Information query seeking details on the vacant posts.More Related News
