The Hindu reports that the chairperson of the Karnataka Backward Classes Commission C. S. Dwarakanath has been asked to resign.
It seems no explanation has been provided.
The relevant section (Chapter II and Section 4) of the THE KARNATAKA STATE COMMISSION FOR BACKWARD CLASSES ACT, 1995 states (note especially the highlighted portions):
4. Term of office and conditions of service of Chairman and Members.- (1)
Subject to the pleasure of the State Government the Chairman and every member shall
hold office for the term of three years from the date he assumes office 1[x x x]1.
1. Omited by Act, 24 of 1997 w.e.f. 29.9.1997.
(2) The Chairman or a member may in writing under his hand addressed to the State
Government, resign from the office of the Chairman or of member, as the case may be
at any time.
(3) The State Government shall remove a person from the office of the Chairman or
of a member if that person,-
(a) becomes an undischarged insolvent;
(b) is convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for an offence which, in the
opinion of the State Government, involves moral turpitude;
(c) becomes of unsound mind and stands so declared by a competent court;
(d) refuses to act or becomes incapable of acting;
(e) is, without obtaining leave of absence from the Commission, absents from
three consecutive meetings of the Commission; or
(f) has, in the opinion of the Government so abused the position of Chairman or
member as to render that person’s continuance in office is detrimental to the interests of
backward classes or the public interest:
Provided that no person shall be removed under this clause until that person has
been given an opportunity of being heard in the matter.
Well, what is it? will the Governor Raj explain?
