Notice to Centre on telecom appointments

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday asked the Centre to reply on a public interest litigation (PIL) petition that has alleged irregularities in the appointment of heads of two telecom public sector undertakings — BSNL and MTNL. The petition has accused Communications and IT Minister A. Raja and his “trusted” officials in this regard.

Accepting a joint petition filed by an NGO — Telecom Watchdog — and the Sanchar Nigam Executives' Association pleading that the procedure for appointment of heads of BSNL and MTNL was arbitrary and it should be quashed, a Bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra issued notices to the Centre and the Department of Telecommunications seeking their response.
