“Justice Jayant Nath To Continue As DERC Chairman”: Says SC Regardless Of 65 Yrs Retirement Age

The Supreme Court Today (Oct 21) extended the tenure of former Delhi High Court judge Justice Jayant Nath as the interim chairperson of the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) even after he attains the superannuation age of 65 years. In a bid to resolve the impasse between the AAP-led Delhi government and the office of Lieutenant Governor (LG), the top court, on its own, had appointed Justice Nath as the interim chairperson of the DERC on August 4, 2023.
