The Supreme Court has sought the government’s response in a plea to fill four vacancies in the National Commission for Safai Karamcharis, a statutory body constituted in 1994 to ensure the rights of sanitation workers.
A Bench headed by Justice Surya Kant issued notice to the Centre on the petition filed by advocate Radhakanta Tripathy, who said his representation on June 9 to the government to make the appointments to the Commission got no response.
The petition showed that other than the Commission chairperson M. Venkatesan, the vice-chairperson and a member, the posts of the remaining four have not been filled.
