In a reply to a PIL in Nagpur, the Government of India is reported to have indicated that a Chair Person has finally been appointed to the Cyber Appellate tribunal in Delhi. The incumbent is reportedly a retired judge from Chennai.
However, the official website is yet to confirm the appointment. Last time, when Mr S.K.Krishnan was appointed, he was appointed as a member and not designated as Chair person for more than 9 months and he reached his superannuation without being able to discharge any work.
We have to therefore wait until a final announcement is made. However, this time the appointment may actually happen and after 5 years, CAT may become functional once again.
