"content": "With regard to the other issues that were cited, I want to observe that, indeed, it does not say anywhere the qualifications or rather the express qualifications of somebody who has to be appointed. Somebody can be qualified to be appointed as a High Court judge and be the chairman. Article 246 (2) of the Constitution says:- “The Commission consists of - (a) the following persons, each appointed by the President – (i) a person who is qualified to be appointed as a High Court; (ii) two retired senior police officers; and (iii) three persons of integrity who have served the public with distinction.” Under the circumstances, this Motion itself is inadmissible and debate cannot continue on the same. From then on, I think the Committee will have to do the needful. Go back, redo its own report and bring it in line with the statute and in line with the Constitution and only then can the House be validly seized of transacting that business."
