Centre will soon decide the appointment of new Secretary of Legislative Department. This post virtually fell vacant on June 25 following the announcement of appointment of Dr G Narayana Raju as Judicial Member, Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT). Reportedly Dr Raju would demit office in the last week of this month to take charge of his new responsibility in CAT. Therefore the new incumbent has to be decided as early as possible. The NaMo administration is yet to select his successor. As the post is vacant, the new successor has to be decided soon. Here the move of the Centre to pick a new face may surprise many in bureaucratic circle.
