Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Which of the following statements about ‘Tribunals’ is correct?
- Tribunals are institutions established for discharging judicial or quasi-judicial duties.
- The objective may be to reduce case load of the judiciary or to bring in subject expertise for technical matters.
- The High Court is subordinate to the National Green Tribunal in so far as territorial jurisdiction is concerned.
Select the correct statements
Correct
Solution (a)
Tribunals are institutions established for discharging judicial or quasi-judicial duties. The objective may be to reduce case load of the judiciary or to bring in subject expertise for technical matters.
The Supreme Court has ruled that tribunals, being quasi-judicial bodies, should have the same level of independence from the executive as the judiciary. Key factors include the mode of selection of members, the composition of tribunals, and the terms and tenure of service.
In order to ensure that tribunals are independent from the executive, the Supreme Court had recommended that all administrative matters be managed by the law ministry rather than the ministry associated with the subject area. Later, the Court recommended creation of an independent National Tribunals Commission for the administration of tribunals. These recommendations have not been implemented.
Whereas the reasoning for setting up some tribunals was to reduce pendency of cases in courts, several tribunals are facing the issue of a large case load and pendency.
The top court said the NGT is subordinate to the High Court in so far as territorial jurisdiction is concerned regarding an order prohibiting construction work at Rushikonda hills in Visakhapatnam.
