appointment

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Governor has accepted two proposals made by the government after holding it for weeks. This is the Cabinet proposal to appoint former Higher Secondary Joint Director PP Prakashan as PSC member. The governor has been withholding this for more than a month. Yesterday, the recommendation to appoint judicial member K Baijunath as the acting chairman was also approved in place of the chairman of the human rights commission, Justice Anthony Dominic, who retired on May 31. Chief Secretary VP Joy had met the Governor and asked him to accept these recommendations. Baiju Nath will take charge as the acting chairman on Monday. Baiju Nath can continue as the acting chairperson until a new chairman is appointed. K Baiju Nath, a native of Kozhikode, is a former district judge. Baiju Nath became a judicial member of the commission two years ago.
