Parliament Passes Tribunals Reforms Bill Establishing National Tribunals Commission
The Tribunals Reforms Bill, 2026, passed by both Houses of Parliament, establishes a National Tribunals Commission (NTC) to oversee appointments, performance, and administration of 16 tribunals. The NTC, chaired by a former Supreme Court or High Court judge and including judicial and technical members, aims to ensure independence, transparency, and uniformity in tribunal functioning. The Bill replaces the 2021 Act following Supreme Court rulings and seeks to address executive interference, though some experts note concerns about the NTC's autonomy and infrastructure challenges remain.
