How many PCB board members are appointed to hear an appeal?

• A. Three
• B. One
• C. Two
• D. Five

Answer: (B)

When an appeal is heard, the reviewing authority is typically a single board member. This setup allows a focused and timely examination of the original record, arguments, and any permissible new evidence. A lone reviewer can assess whether any legal or procedural errors affected the outcome and issue a clear, well-reasoned decision without the delays and potential inconsistency that a multi-member panel can bring. While larger panels are used for complex questions or initial hearings, the standard approach for appeals is to designate one board member to hear and decide the case.
