% 12.05.2016 CM No.9905/2016 in W.P.(C) No.8693/2014 The main petition was disposed of by order dated 27.11.2015 with a direction to the respondent No.1 to fill up all the vacancies in the BIFR within 3 months.

The present application has been filed by the writ petitioner stating that respondent No.1 failed to comply with the order of this court and no appointments have been made till date.

We adjourned the matter on 06.04.2016 to enable the learned CGSC to get instructions.

When the matter is taken up today, it is represented by Shri Akshay Makhija, learned CGSC that by order dated 22.04.2016 Bench-I of BIFR has been reconstituted and the same is functional as of today. CM No.9905/2016 in W.P.(C) No.8693/2014

However, the learned counsel for the petitioner disputed the same pointing out that both Shri Ashish Kalia, Presiding Officer, DRT-III, Delhi and Shri Shashank Saksena, Economic Advisor, Department of Financial Services have been assigned additional charge of the posts of Chairman and Member of BIFR respectively and that the same cannot be said to be in compliance with the directions of this court. We therefore direct the respondent No.1 to file an affidavit explaining the reasons as to why the vacancies are not filled up on regular basis. The same shall be filed within one week from today without fail. Call on 25.05.2016.

CHIEF JUSTICE JAYANT NATH, J MAY 12, 2016/rb CM No.9905/2016 in W.P.(C) No.8693/2014
