Governor Delays Decision on Kodandaram, Azharuddin Nomination
The Telangana government wants to appoint Prof. Kodandaram and Azharuddin to a special council.
The Governor is delaying this because of a court case about a previous appointment and questions about whether the government followed court orders.
The Supreme Court said the government could choose Kodandaram or others, but the Governor is waiting for the court's final decision.
The Governor might also be concerned because Azharuddin is a former politician and not a usual nominee, which is reserved for people in fields like literature, science, or social service.
The Congress government nominated Prof. Kodandaram and Azharuddin for the Legislative Council.
The Governor is delaying the nomination.
The delay is due to a Supreme Court case and concerns about following the court's order.
The Supreme Court had given the Cabinet and Governor freedom to nominate, but with stipulations.
The Governor is waiting for the Supreme Court's final verdict.
