DY Chandrachud To Be Appointed Human Rights Panel Chairperson? Here's What Ex-CJI Said

ABP News  

The National Human Rights Commission has been without a full-time chairperson since former Supreme Court judge Justice Arun Kumar Mishra's tenure finished on June 1 this year. However, Justice Chandrachud has dismissed reports of him being considered for the post of the National Human Rights Commission chairperson, saying that he is enjoying his retired life as a private person and that these are just rumours. NHRC is headed by either a former Chief Justice of India or a retired judge of the Supreme Court. Since the chairperson's post is vacant, Supreme Court judge Vijaya Bharathi Sayani is serving as the commission's acting chairperson.
