The court passed the order on the petition filed by the Madras Bar Association.
The bench, in its verdict, also asked the Central government to constitute a National Tribunals Commission which shall act as an independent body to supervise the appointments and functioning of Tribunals.
The Madras Bar Association, in its petition, had stated that the independence of the judiciary, and tribunals and its functioning is very important. The top court also ordered the Central government to strictly adhere to the directions passed by it in the judgment.
"Till the constitution of the National Tribunals Commission, a separate wing should be established at the Ministry of Finance to cater to the requirements of tribunals," the bench said.
It also said that advocates with experience of 10 years will be eligible for appointment as judicial members in tribunals. The Members of Indian legal Service will also be eligible for appointment as judicial members provided they fulfill the same criteria as advocates, the bench added. (ANI)
