Headed by Delhi High Court retired Chief Justice D Murugesan, the panel members include former chess world champion Viswanathan Anand and prominent Carnatic musician T M Krishna, among others. Also, the annual Budget of the Greater Chennai Corporation for 2022-23 will be tabled at the Ripon Building, the headquarters of the civic body, on Saturday by the mayor after a gap of six years.
