Supreme Court Directs Centre to Address Infrastructure and Staffing at NCLT Benches
The Supreme Court directed the Centre to urgently identify infrastructure needs for National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) benches, emphasizing that tribunals are vital for government functioning. The court also instructed the NCLT Principal Bench Bar Association to compile infrastructure data from all regional benches. The NCLT Bar Association highlighted a shortage of judicial and technical members, with many benches operating half-day due to understaffing, despite expanded jurisdiction under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.
