The Supreme Court has asked the Central government to frame a uniform proposal within four weeks to ensure tribunals across India remain functional and independent. The Court stressed that these bodies cannot be allowed to become defunct and called for a holistic reform plan.
Today, On 19th November, Supreme Court quashes Tribunal Reforms Act provisions on appointment and tenure, ruling that they violate separation of powers and judicial independence, amount to a legislative override of a binding judgment, and fail the constitutional test, requiring urgent corrective action from the government.
