In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court of India has quashed the appointment of the Chairperson of the National Commission for Homeopathy (NCH), citing procedural irregularities and non-compliance with statutory requirements. The decision was delivered by a bench of Justices [names of justices, if available], reinforcing the importance of due process in appointments to regulatory bodies.
The case arose from a petition challenging the appointment process, alleging that it did not adhere to the eligibility criteria and procedural norms outlined under the National Commission for Homeopathy Act, 2020. The Court found merit in the contention that the selection lacked transparency and failed to meet the prescribed standards of fairness.
The ruling emphasized that regulatory bodies such as the NCH play a crucial role in overseeing the education and practice of homeopathy in India, making it imperative that their leadership appointments comply strictly with statutory provisions. The Court also underscored the necessity of ensuring that appointees possess the requisite qualifications and experience as mandated by law.
With this verdict, the Centre has been directed to initiate a fresh appointment process in accordance with legal norms. The decision is expected to have broader implications on appointments to other statutory commissions, reinforcing the judiciary’s role in upholding procedural integrity in public administration.
Legal experts have hailed the judgment as a reaffirmation of the Supreme Court’s commitment to maintaining transparency and accountability in governance. The government is now expected to reassess its appointment protocols to prevent similar legal challenges in the future.
