First Published: 31st January, 2023 11:38 IST
The Apex Court has asked the two states to look into suggestions made by 5 committee and frame rules in 6 months
The Supreme Court has directed Mizoram and Manipur to look at changing its hiring rules in line with the suggestions made by the Bhattacharia Committee, Belliappa Committee, Administrative Staff College of India Study, Menon Committee and the Supreme Court Monitoring Committee to ensure that suitable professionals and experts are appointed to the State Pollution Control Boards (SPCB).
The states have been given six months time to make the changes and come up with appropriate hiring rules.
The Apex Court was, on Monday, hearing contempt petitions seeking implementation of a 2017 order of the Supreme Court directing all the State Governments to frame appropriate recruitment rules for Chairperson, Member Secretary and Members of the State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) in terms of the reports submitted by the above mentioned committees.
Closing the contempt petitions, a Bench comprising Justice Ravindra Bhat and Justice Dipankar Datta noted that it would not be befitting for the Court to keep monitoring the matter further.
The Apex Court had directed all other states and Union Territories to discharge their responsibilities under the notice, the Live Law reported.
