Former Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court Mukul Mudgal will take over as the new chairperson of Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC), a self-regulatory body for non-news channels.
A statement released here said that the Board of Directors of Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) has approved the appointment of Justice (Retd) Mukul Mudgal as the chairperson of BCCC.
Justice Mudgal, who had chaired a committee appointed by the Supreme Court to look into Indian Premier League (IPL) match-fixing allegations, succeeds Justice (Retd) Ajit Prakash Shah, who demitted the office after being appointed Chairperson of the 20th Law Commission in November 2013.
Mudgal had become the Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court on December 5, 2009 and retired on January 3, 2011. He had also chaired a committee set up by the I&B ministry to propose changes in the Cinematograph Act, 1952.
Justice Mudgal will chair the 32nd Meeting of BCCC towards the end of this month, officials said.
