Supreme Court Declines Plea by Former NCLAT Member to Practice Before Tribunal
The Supreme Court on May 27 declined to entertain a plea by former National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) technical member Vijai Pratap Singh, who challenged a regulation barring former tribunal members from practicing before the NCLT and NCLAT. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, emphasized the importance of judicial independence and the potential perception issues if former members appeared before current ones. Singh proposed a cooling-off period instead of a complete ban but withdrew the petition after the court's disinclination to hear the case.
