T. FENN WALTER vs UNION OF INDIA .

The case concerns a writ petition filed by advocates challenging the appointment of a sitting Judge of the Madras High Court as the President of the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Pondicherry. The petitioners contended 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 the additional post of President of the State Commission given the administrative needs of the Union Territory.
