Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of Administrative Tribunals under Article 323A of the Constitution and the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. It held that while Article 323A allows for the establishment of such tribunals and the exclusion of jurisdiction of all courts except the Supreme Court, it does not automatically remove the jurisdiction of the courts. The Court emphasized that the establishment of tribunals is contingent upon legislative action to define their powers and jurisdiction, thus affirming the need for clarity in the law governing administrative tribunals.
