A lawyers’ body on Monday withdrew from the Supreme Court plea against any move to appoint former Chief Justice of India P. Sathasivam as National Human Rights Commission Chairperson, saying its representation is being considered by the competent authority.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice H.L. Dattu was informed by the All India Bar Association (AIBA) that it has been assured that its representation that all other previous CJIs, besides Justice Sathasivam, will be in the line of consideration for the top job of the NHRC.
“I have sent representation to the government and it is considering the plea that all other CJIs should be considered,” AIBA Chairman Adish C Aggarwala submitted.
