Srinagar, Sep 26: The High Court of J&K and Ladakh Thursday asked the government to appoint the Chairman of the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
A division bench of Justice Atul Sridharan and Justice Muhammad Yousuf Wani issued the direction in response to a related plea after it was informed that ever since the State Commission had been reconstituted, it was without a chairman who should be a retired High Court judge.
“We request the J&K government to take all such steps necessary to fill up the vacancy of the chairman of the State Commission within a reasonable period,” the bench said.
