The Supreme Court extended the term of Justice (Retd.) Manmohan
Singh as Chairman of the Intellectual Property Appellate Board
(IPAB). The order was passed considering the post of the chairman
had been vacant since September 21, 2019 which rendered the IPAB
dysfunctional. Holding that the post cannot be left vacant as it
causes hardships to all the litigants who have pending cases before
the IPAB – the Court allowed Justice (Retd.) Manmohan Singh
to continue as Chairman of IPAB for a period of one year after he
attains the age of superannuation to ensure that there is no break
in service.
