Supreme Court Rejects PIL Challenging Bihar Commission Chair
The Supreme Court has decided not to hear a case about the head of Bihar's Public Service Commission.
Someone filed a case saying the person shouldn't be in charge because they're involved in a corruption case.
The court had asked for information from the government and the person in charge before.
However, the judges told the lawyer who filed the case that they need to have all the facts straight before filing a case.
The person who filed the case believed that the appointee did not have a clean record because of the accusations of corruption.
Supreme Court rejected a PIL against the appointment of Bihar Public Service Commission chairperson.
The PIL challenged Parmar Ravi Manubhai's appointment, citing a pending corruption case.
The court had sought responses from the Bihar government and Manubhai earlier.
The bench cautioned the lawyer against filing PILs without sufficient facts.
The petitioner claimed Parmar lacked an 'impeccable character' due to the corruption charges.
