New Delhi, Dec. 20 -- The Delhi High Court on Thursday directed the Delhi government to fill the vacancies of the chairperson and members of the Delhi Minorities Commission (DMC) within eight weeks, after being assured that the appointment process was already under way. The direction came after the revenue department secretary informed a bench comprising chief justice DK Upadhyay and justice Tushar Rao Gedela that the appointment process was likely to be done in eight weeks. The assurance was given after the court sharply criticised the government during the pre-lunch hearing for its inaction. Recording the statement submitted by the Delhi government, the court said, "The writ petition stands disposed of in terms of the statement made that the vacancies will be filled in eight weeks."SHRUTI KAKKAR...
