SC quashes tribunal law provisions

THE Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down key provisions of the Tribunals Reforms Act, 2021 related to the appointment and tenure of tribunal members, noting that these were in violation of the court's earlier judgments, and directed the Centre to set up a National Tribunals Commission within four months.

In a strongly worded verdict, a bench of Chief Justice BR Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran said the Centre brought back the provisions earlier read down by the apex court with minor tweaks.
