Indian Masterminds Stories

New Delhi: The appointment of a new Member to the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) remains undecided, with two high-profile retired civil servants still under consideration: Manoj Yadava, former Director General of Police, Haryana, and Sumita Dawra, former Labour Secretary and retired IAS officer of the Andhra Pradesh cadre.

According to official sources, despite recent developments in their respective careers, both names continue to be in contention for the post.

Top Bureaucrats in the Running

Manoj Yadava (Retd IPS: 1988: HY), who recently took over as Director General of Haryana Institute of Public Administration (HIPA), is still on the panel for appointment to the NCDRC.

Sumita Dawra (Retd IAS: 1991: AP), who previously served as the Union Labour Secretary, is also being considered for the role.

The final decision is yet to be made, creating ongoing speculation in bureaucratic circles.

Current Composition of the NCDRC

The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) currently has nine members, with Justice Amreshwar Pratap Sahi serving as the President of the Commission.

The NCDRC, a quasi-judicial body established under the Consumer Protection Act, plays a critical role in adjudicating high-value consumer disputes and ensuring fair consumer rights protection across the country.

Background: Appointment Process and Significance

Appointments to the NCDRC are made by the Central Government and usually involve a thorough vetting process through selection panels. The role of Member is prestigious and influential, often reserved for retired high-ranking judicial officers, senior bureaucrats, and distinguished professionals.

The appointment carries a fixed tenure and plays a crucial role in streamlining justice delivery in consumer affairs at the national level.
