SC strikes down key provisions of Tribunals Reforms Act, says Centre reintroduced quashed clauses with minor tweaks

The Supreme Court has struck down key parts of the 2021 Tribunals Reforms law. These provisions dealt with how tribunal members are appointed, their tenure, and service conditions. The court found these re-enacted clauses violated separation of powers and judicial independence. Earlier judicial directions on tenure have been restored. The judgment aims to address case backlogs more effectively.
