Why Expert Committees' Recommendations should be logical?

 Why Expert Committees' Recommendations should be logical?

In today's hyper-connected world, every documented is floating in every part of the world. It is the duty of the author, members of the committee and the head of the institutions under which the work was carried out to ensure that every document is not properly drafted and presented to the readers but also provide logical reasoning behind their recommendations.

These expert committee documents are also used as evidence in the courts. Unfortunately, courts take these expert committees on face value. If these committees have concluded the recommendations without proper assessment, the court's judgements can do more harm to society.

While doing some legal and policy work, I was referring to the documents published by expert committees constituted by the Government of India to study the pesticides and their relevance. This is a very important agenda because the periodic evaluation of all chemicals, systems and products to ensure bad products are phased out and new and safer options are included. There can be various criteria to understand what is useful and what is not useful for society.

As a techno-legal & techno-commercial expert, I have a tendency to read the documents from various angles to understand the perspective of various stakeholders. This helps in coming to a logical conclusion.

While evaluating the recommendations of various expert committees on the pesticides, I came across the following observations:

1. Lack of clearly laid-out procedure and criteria: The committees have randomly picked up a few documents without any justification and then unable to come to any meaningful conclusion. This has created more 

2. Conflict of Interests: The committee is seeking the evidence to come to the conclusion from the stakeholders which has a conflict of interest with the scope of the agenda itself.
