C. Reappointment

5.19 Question of reappointment is one of the important aspects having a direct bearing on the independence and fairness in the working of the institution. It goes without saying that any provision for reappointment would itself have the effect of undermining the independence of the chairperson/member. One may be inclined to decide matters in a manner that would ensure their reappointment. Keeping this in view, matters relating to appointment and extension of tenure must be shielded from intervention of the execution.
