The Chhattisgarh High Court today admitted a public interest litigation challenging the appointment of Aman Singh, a non-IAS officer, as the state's Energy Secretary.
The division bench of Justices Sunil Sinha and Prashant Mishra also sought a reply from Singh within three weeks.
Nitin Sinha, a Raipur resident, who has filed the petition, contends that appointment of somebody who is not from the IAS is not valid.
