The Supreme Court on Monday said that tribunals in the country need to be strengthened to ensure litigants continue to have faith in its adjudication as it set out to examine the issues ailing them.
NEW DELHI:
The bench, headed by Justice Surya Kant, said, "There needs to be an effective modicum in place as we need to strengthen the tribunal mechanism so that litigants have confidence in it."
Hearing a challenge to the constitutional validity of the Tribunal Reforms Act, 2021, the bench, also comprising Justice N Kotiswar Singh, flagged several issues of service conditions and tenure of judicial members besides vacant posts in tribunals.
