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 repeals the 2021 Act, following a Supreme Court ruling that struck down key provisions for lacking judicial independence. The new commission will include judicial and technical members, with a centralized, transparent selection process. Opposition protests over a separate police crackdown issue occurred during the passage, but the Bill was passed without debate.
