NEW DELHI:

The Leaders of Opposition had proposed the names of justice Rohinton Fali Nariman and justice Kuttiyil Mathew Joseph for the position of chairperson. However, former Supreme Court judge V Ramasubramanian has been appointed as the new chairperson of the NHRC.

The post of NHRC chairperson had been lying vacant since Justice (retd) Arun Kumar Mishra completed his tenure on June 1.

The meeting of the Selection Committee for picking the chairperson and members of the NHRC was held on December 18 at the Parliament House.

In their dissent note, Kharge and Gandhi recorded their disagreement on the grounds that the selection process adopted by the committee was fundamentally flawed.
