#Tenure Continuation

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has permitted sitting members and presidents of District and State Consumer Commissions to continue in office beyond their fixed tenure, following the Supreme Court’s invalidation of Rule 10(2) of the 2020 Rules. This interim measure, aligned with the Delhi High Court’s precedent, prevents disruption in justice delivery and safeguards consumer rights pending fresh appointments under updated regulations.

Madhya Pradesh High Court directs that District and State Consumer Commission members shall continue in office post-tenure until new appointment rules are notified, preventing disruption in adjudication. The ruling applies the Delhi HC precedent to ensure uninterrupted consumer dispute resolution pending legislative reforms.
