Govt told to explain SC/ST panel chief's term extension
Bangalore, Feb 17, DHNS:

The Karnataka High Court on Thursday directed the State government to
file an affidavit explaining its decision to extend the term of Haveri
MLA Nehru C Olekar by one year as the chairman of Karnataka State
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Commission (KSSC/STC).

The petitioners Karnataka Valmiki Nayak Maha Sabha and others had
moved the High Court challenging the action of the State government in
extending the term.

The petitioner alleged that Olekar, being a sitting MLA from Haveri,
was too busy in his constituency and was unable to concentrate on his
job as the head of the commission. He submitted that Olekar had
neither toured the State nor submitted any report.

Chief Justice J S Khehar sought to know why the State decided to
extend the term and observed that it was similar to appointing a
government advocate who would not argue throughout his term.
