Tribunals Reforms and Recent Amendments

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Aimed at streamlining tribunal structures, merging or abolishing certain bodies to reduce fragmentation. The Tribunals Reforms (Rationalisation and Conditions of Service) Ordinance and subsequent Act restructured entities like the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal. Critics worry centralization might undermine specialized expertise or independence. Courts have intervened to ensure proper tenure, appointment procedures, and maintain tribunal autonomy. Government defends these reforms as improving efficiency and consistency. Observers note that truly effective tribunals require procedural clarity, robust infrastructure, and minimal executive interference. Hence, balancing reorganization with judicial independence remains crucial for fulfilling the constitutional promise of fair, speedy dispute resolution.
