The Allahabad High Court intervened to address the backlog of vacancies in district consumer commissions, caused by an ongoing Supreme Court case. The High Court allowed retiring members to remain in their positions until the legal challenge is resolved, aiming to prevent further accumulation of vacancies. This decision followed a public interest litigation (PIL) raising concerns about unfilled vacancies. The Court acknowledged the uncertainty of the Supreme Court’s decision and directed retiring members to continue temporarily, pending further orders. The next hearing is scheduled for July 12.
