No consensus between Delhi CM, LG on DERC chairperson appointment: SC told

The Delhi Government and the Lieutenant Governor (LG) on Thursday told the Supreme Court that they have failed to arrive at a consensus on the issue of appointment of DERC chairperson.

The top court suggested that it may consider appointing a former judge for some time on an ad-hoc basis and for that, it will have to consult few judges.

After a bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud was apprised that there was no consensus on the issue, the CJI asked, “Can you both not pick up one judge for appointment as DERC chairperson.”
