The federal government has notified the posting of Nepra Appellate Tribunal head following the approval by the federal cabinet. 

According to the notification issued on Wednesday, former Lahore High Court judge Mujahid Mustaqeem was appointed the tribunal chairman for a four-year term.

The legislation for activating the tribunal effectively was made in 2018 so that the complaints of consumers against power distribution companies could be addressed.
