Every State Law Commission in the country has been headed by either a
retired Supreme Court or High Court Judge. Against all established norms and
practice the Law Commission in Goa is headed by Mr. Ramakant Khalap an
active politician who is also a spokesman of the State Congress party
besides being the Chairman of the Mapusa Urban Cooperative Bank of Goa. That
he was charge sheeted in various corruption related cases which were later
politically withdrawn is another issue. If the government wanted to
politically rehabilitate him with cabinet rank and status they should have
found another position rather than degrade the sanctity of the Law
Commission. Being a former Union Law Minister is no qualification or
criteria to head the State Law Commission. Is this the Goa Law Commission or
the Congress Law Commission?
