Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the restructuring of the Tribunal system, emphasizing the need for independence and legal expertise among Tribunal members as per the constitutional framework. The Court highlighted that Tribunals must provide speedy and inexpensive justice, and their effectiveness must be regularly reviewed. Citing precedents such as R.K. Jain v. Union of India and L. Chandra Kumar v. Union of India, the Court underscored the necessity for judicial review of Tribunal decisions and the establishment of a competent oversight mechanism. The Court concluded that a single umbrella organization is essential for the administration of all Tribunals to enhance their standards and public confidence.
