As per case facts, Petitioners, Second Members of Consumer Grievance Redressal Forums (CGRFs), challenged an advertisement by Respondent JBVNL to fill their posts without evaluating their performance for tenure extension.
...Petitioners contended that under JSERC Regulations, their tenure should be extended if their service is satisfactory. JBVNL argued that tenure extension was discretionary. The question arose whether the word 'extendable' in Clause 4.2(2) of JSERC Regulations, 2020, implies a mandatory extension upon satisfactory service or grants absolute discretion to the Distribution Licensee. Finally, the High Court held that 'extendable' is mandatory if performance is satisfactory, emphasizing the need for independence of CGRF members. JBVNL must evaluate performance; if satisfactory, tenure must be extended. The advertisement was set aside.
