Former Punjab & Haryana High Court Judge, Justice Anupinder Grewal Appointed NCLT President

The Central Government has appointed former Punjab and Haryana High Court judge Justice (Retd.) Anupinder Singh Grewal as the President of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).

The appointment was approved by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet for a tenure of five years or until he attains the age of 67 years, whichever is earlier.

His appointment is considered significant because, unlike past practice where former Chief Justices of High Courts were usually chosen, Justice Grewal becomes one of the few retired High Court judges to head the NCLT.

He succeeds Justice (Retd.) Ramalingam Sudhakar in the role.
