ORDER : Y.K. Sabharwal, J. By Order dated 23rd February, 2004, this Court directed that, Dr. Bhurelal, who had reportedly been selected for appointment as member of U.P.S.C., be allowed, untill further orders, to continue to act as the Chairman of the Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority (EPCA) and also to continue as member of UPSC, and the functioning in both the capacities shall be simultaneous. On an application filed by learned amicus curiae for issue of directions to Union of India to implement the Order dated 3rd February, 2004, an affidavit by Shri A.n. Tiwari, Secretary, Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India, has been filed. We have perused the said affidavit and the policy of the Government that the members of UPSC being constitutional appointees are not expected to hold any other responsibility even honorary in nature. We have also taken on record a letter dated 4th November, 2003 addressed by Dr. Bhurelal to learned amicus curiae stating that he would discharge the duties of Chairman of EPCA without receiving any monetary return or perquisites along with UPSC membership. The letter further states that he had been doing the job without any remuneration since 1998 excepting the period from 1st of March, 2003 onwards. 2. We wish to make it clear that the continuance of Dr. Bhurelal as Chairman of EPCA is only with a view to assist this Court since Dr. Bhurelal has, for last many years, rendered immense assistance to this Court in the matters relating to environment. We have also no doubt that in the constitutional scheme this Court can require any person to assist the Court. The continuance of Dr. Bhurelal as Chairman of EPCA has to be appreciated only from this point of view, and is not to be treated as any assignment, even honorary in nature. There is no question of the assignment by this Court to be treated as precedent. The apprehension of the Government seems to be ill - founded. The Government shall go ahead with appointment of Dr. Bhurelal as member of UPSC as expeditiously as possible. 3. I.A. No. 237 is disposed of accordingly.
