The Story in Brief
A meeting to select the chairman of the Madhya Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) will be held in Bhopal on Thursday. The Chief Justice of the High Court will chair the meeting, with the additional chief secretary of the Urban Development Department and the secretary (law) also attending. The panel may also approve recruitment for the RERA appellate tribunal.
The post of RERA chairman has been vacant since March after the retirement of AP Shrivastava. Only one member, Rashmi Agarwal, is currently working, and her term ends in October. Several IAS officers and other government staff have applied. Following a High Court direction that the post should not be limited to retired IAS officers, the government advertised for applications from a wider pool.
The Indian Opinion
Delays in RERA appointments are often blamed on government apathy, but here the High Court has forced an open process. The real test will be whether the committee picks an applicant who is not a retired IAS officer, as the court wanted. If it defaults to a bureaucrat, the reform loses credibility. Watch for the name the committee sends and whether it reflects the court's intent for fresh talent in real estate regulation.
