Parliament Passes Tribunals Reforms Bill Establishing National Tribunals Commission
Parliament has passed the Tribunals Reforms Bill, 2026, establishing a National Tribunals Commission to oversee tribunal administration and appointments, aiming to address Supreme Court concerns about tenure and executive influence. While the Bill sets fixed five-year terms and a structured appointment process, the government retains significant control over the commission's composition, funding, and rules. This legislation follows a decade-long dispute between the government and Supreme Court over tribunal independence and administrative oversight.
