A.K.Behera vs Union Of India & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of the Administrative Tribunals (Amendment) Act, 2006, particularly focusing on Section 10A and its implications for the tenure and conditions of service of members of the Central Administrative Tribunal. The Court held that the provisions imposing a maximum term of 10 years and requiring fresh appointments for existing members were arbitrary and violated Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. Consequently, the Court quashed the amendments and directed that all members should continue until the age of superannuation, ensuring parity with High Court judges' conditions of service.
