The Delhi High Court ruled that the petition filed by Kaushalendra Kumar Singh, a technical member of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), challenging the appointment of Bachu Venkat Balaram Das as acting president was rendered moot. This decision followed the Centre's appointment of Justice Anupinder Singh Grewal, a former judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, as the new president of the NCLT. The appointment was notified on April 29, effective for five years or until Justice Grewal reaches the age of 67. Singh contended that, based on seniority rules, he should have been appointed acting president since he joined the tribunal before Das. However, the Centre defended Das's appointment, citing the convention of appointing the senior-most judicial member to the position. The court closed the proceedings on Singh's petition, which he initially filed in March and later withdrew to seek a different legal avenue.
