The Supreme Court addressed two key issues regarding the jurisdiction of Administrative Tribunals under the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. It held that such tribunals cannot entertain public interest litigations, affirming that their scope is limited to service matters. The Court also found that the Tribunal exceeded its jurisdiction in the specific case concerning the qualifications for the post of Junior Teacher in Surgical Gastroenterology, thus setting aside the impugned order.
