Jodhpur, Nov. 6 -- The Rajasthan high court has directed the state government to appoint an administrative member to the Rajasthan Civil Services Appellate Tribunal in Jodhpur by November 30, warning that the chief secretary or additional chief secretary of the Department of Personnel will have to appear before it if the deadline is not met. A division bench of Justice Vinit Kumar Mathur and Justice Chandra Shekhar Sharma passed the direction on Wednesday while hearing a writ petition filed by the Rajasthan High Court Advocates Association against the state government. The court took note of submissions by the petitioner's counsel that despite repeated directions issued on August 5, September 9 and September 17, the state government had not appointed an administrative member to the tribunal.

Taking note of the submissions, the bench directed the state government to complete the appointment by November 30. Dinesh Bothra...
