Judgment text excerpt

The case concerns a challenge to the appointment of a sitting High Court Judge as the President of the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in Pondicherry. The petitioners argued that such an appointment would cause the judge to cease holding office as a High Court Judge. The Supreme Court examined whether a sitting judge could hold this additional charge and whether such an arrangement is legally sustainable.
