President Droupadi Murmu has appointed Justice (Retd) Umesh Kumar as the Chairperson of the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC). This appointment comes after Justice (Retd) Rajeev Kumar Shrivastava, who had been proposed for the position, expressed his inability to take charge due to family commitments. The appointment is likely to lead to a power tussle, as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had put forward the name of Retired Justice Rajiv Kumar Srivastava for the role of DERC Chairperson. The Supreme Court had ordered the Lt Governor of Delhi to act on the council of ministers’ advice and appoint a DERC chairperson within two weeks. The Delhi Government had earlier filed a petition in the Supreme Court stating that retired Justice Rajiv Kumar Srivastava was proposed in January as the new DERC Chairperson.
