NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday said it will appoint ad hoc chairperson of Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) on July 4 after the Delhi LG and the chief minister informed the court through their counsels that they had failed to reach a consensus on the issue.
During the last hearing in the case, the apex court had asked the LG V K Saxena and chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to sit together and decide on a name. The appointment of DERC chairperson has been the latest flashpoint between the two constitutional authorities.
“Since the issue will require a detailed hearing, pending adjudication we will appoint an adhoc chairperson,” SC bench led b y CJI D Y Chandrachud said.
Earlier during the hearing, the counsels informed the top court that they have failed to reach a consensus on the issue. The court reacted to this and said “Can you both not pick up one judge for appointment as DERC chairperson.”
