Lok Sabha Passes Tribunals Reforms Bill 2026 Establishing National Commission
The Lok Sabha passed the Tribunals Reforms Bill, 2026, establishing a National Tribunals Commission to oversee appointments, tenure, and functioning of tribunal chairpersons and members. The Bill aims to ensure independence, transparency, and uniformity, replacing the 2021 Act after the Supreme Court struck down key provisions. The commission will have a chairperson and four members, including judicial and technical experts. The Bill was passed without debate amid opposition protests over a separate police crackdown issue, with no changes to tribunal jurisdictions.
