A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the recent appointment of Manubhai Parmar as the Chairperson of the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC). The plea, initiated by advocate Brajesh Singh, contends that Parmar’s appointment violates constitutional requirements for public service commission officials to possess “impeccable character.”
The petition points out that Parmar is currently implicated in a corruption case under investigation by Bihar’s Vigilance Bureau, with proceedings still pending before a special judge in Patna. The filing explicitly states, “Respondent number 2 (Parmar) is facing serious charges of committing the offences of corruption and forgery and as such his integrity is doubtful; therefore, he ought not to have been appointed as the chairman of BPSC.”
