PUBLIC SERVICES TRIBUNAL BAR ASSOCIATION vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the U.P. Public Services (Tribunal) Act, 1976, and its amendments, affirming that the establishment of a separate Tribunal for public servants was justified to alleviate the burden on civil courts and expedite justice. The Court noted that the Act allows public servants to seek redressal for grievances related to employment matters, thus barring civil suits in subordinate courts. The judgment reinforced the Tribunal's jurisdiction under Sections 4 and 5 of the Act, emphasizing the importance of timely resolution of service-related disputes.
