2021 (10) TMI 48 - HC - Money LaunderingAcute shortage of staff members as also vacancies at the level of the Chairperson, Member (Administration) and Member (Law) - HELD THAT:- Considering the fact that benches of the Adjudicating Authority hold hearings, and the quantum of cases is considerable, it is not sufficient to merely fill up the vacancies as they exist today, but there is also a need to increase the manpower within the Adjudicating Authority, in order to enable the authority to function in an efficient manner. Insofar as the Chairperson is concerned, it is submitted by Mr. Mahajan, ld. CGSC, under instructions from Mr. Pandey, that the selection for the Chairperson is underway and is likely to conclude shortly - For the positions of Member (Administration) and Member (Law), the proposal for issuance of vacancy circulars is stated to be under consideration. Since these positions have been vacant for a considerable period of time, the Government is directed to take steps for filling up the said posts, within a period of three months. Insofar as the Administrative Officer and Registrar are concerned, in view of the recommendations of the UPSC, as also the lack of a sufficient number of applicants, it appears that appointments have not taken place despite the vacancy circulars having been issued - if these vacancies cannot be filled up through fresh recruitment, the Ministry shall take steps to fill up all these vacancies through alternate means, within a period of one month from today. Let a fresh status report be filed in this regard, within a period of two months - List for conclusion of submissions in all these petitions on 30th September, 2021 at 3:30 pm.
