In March, President Ram Nath Kovind appointed M.L. Srivastava, joint secretary ( Academies ) at the Ministry of Culture, as the pro-tem chairman of the Lalit Kala Akademi. Since the current Government has taken over, former Chairman of Karnataka Lalit Kala Academy CS Krishna Setty, a well - known artist, and art critic is heading LKA as Administrator. He was charged with misappropriation of funds. So, in mid-2017, the ministry had instituted a three - member inquiry committee to probe some allegations of misuse of finances against Setty. Later, this order was withdrawn on August 16, 2017. The Delhi high court, which has been hearing a PIL alleging misappropriation of funds at the national arts body, had sought an explanation from the ministry on August 24, 2017, about it. However, the ministry has n't replied. The next date of hearing of the case was May 8. So, the ministry finally decided to let Setty go in the first week of April 2018, after the Prime Minister 's Office ( PMO ), in 2017, took note of repeated complaints, including missing artworks of the celebrated painter M.F. Husain from the Akademi. But in a reply to a newspaper, He said, `` M.F. Husain 's work disappeared ( from the Lalit Kala Akademi ) long ago.
