New Delhi/Bengaluru: The Supreme Court Wednesday agreed to hear a plea challenging the Karnataka High Court order which had dismissed a petition seeking a direction to the state to appoint members from non-Muslim minority communities also as the chairman of the Karnataka Minorities Development Corporation Limited.

The apex court issued notices to the Karnataka government and others seeking their responses on the plea which said that except the IAS officers in charge, the persons belonging from the Muslim community alone are appointed as chairman of the corporation from its incorporation in 1986 till date.

“Issue notice, returnable in six weeks,” a bench of Justices Vineet Saran and Aniruddha Bose said. Advocate G S Mani appeared for the Bengaluru-based petitioner, Anil Antony, in the top court.
