The position had remained vacant after the government introduced an ordinance providing for the removal of public office bearers from their posts. Following the ordinance, the commission's then vice chair, Dr Anjani Kumar Jha, along with other office bearers, was relieved of his position.
In the absence of a vice chair, the government had assigned former vice chair Shreekrishna Giri to serve as acting vice chair until further arrangements were made.
