Lok Sabha passes Tribunals Reforms Bill amid din
The Lok Sabha passed the Tribunals Reforms Bill, 2021, without debate amid opposition protests, establishing a Search-cum-Selection Committee to oversee appointments to key national tribunals. Law Minister Kiren Rijiju stated the bill aims to bring uniformity and transparency to the selection process, replacing the earlier ordinance. The legislation seeks to streamline tribunal functioning by standardizing qualifications, tenure, and service conditions of members, addressing long-standing concerns over executive interference and judicial delays.
