Justice Anupinder Singh Grewal Appointed President of National Company Law Tribunal

Justice (retd) Anupinder Singh Grewal, former Punjab and Haryana High Court judge, has been appointed President of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) for five years or until age 67. His appointment, approved by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet, marks the first time a senior puisne judge, rather than a retired Chief Justice, holds the post. A petition challenging the appointment of acting president Bachu Venkat Balaram Das was dismissed by the Delhi High Court as infructuous following Grewal's appointment.
