The National Company Law Tribunal and Appellate Tribunal Bar Association filed a Writ Petition to direct the Respondents to fill vacancies of Chairman, NCLAT, and President, NCLT. The petition also seeks the issuance of appointment letters to selected candidates and the filling of all NCLT member vacancies. The petition highlights that only 38 members are present against a sanctioned strength of 63, and six members are retiring in the first week of June 2021. The process for re-appointment of members has not commenced, necessitating an extension of tenure to ensure the Tribunals' work is not affected. The appointment process initiated in 2019 has been delayed due to the pendency of the writ petition and an ordinance dated 2021-04-04.
