interference from the State Legislature. Time and again such Constitution of the Boards has

come under the test of scrutiny of the various Courts of record and finally in order to streamline

the creation of the Board the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Civil Appeal No. 1359/2017

vide order dated 22-09-2017 had directed all of the States to formulate guidelines for

appointment of Chairman, Member Secretary and other Members.

For the purpose of better understanding the following are the set of criteria for the Constitution

of the Board.

Section 4 (2) of the Water Act, 1974 reads as
