A note submitted by the Attorney General of India in the Supreme Court portrays Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi as a constitutional authority battling the State government’s lack of transparency and disregard of regulations.
The 35-page note said there was “no transparency in the entire selection process” related to the appointment of Members of the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission.
In fact, Attorney General Venkataramani’s note on behalf of the Governor said the latter “found that the person sought to be appointed as Chairman will have less than a year in office”, and one of the persons recommended as a Member had been suspended for maladministration by the college where he had been working as an Associate Professor.
