The Madras High Court has upheld the Centre’s decision to extend the tenure of the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) on a one-year contract. The court accepted the government’s explanation that the extension was a stop-gap arrangement while recruitment rules are being reworked. The DCGI’s continuation was challenged, but the court ruled that the process followed was legally sound, emphasizing that the appointee’s eligibility and qualifications were never in question. ¹
