The Supreme Court on Monday, 6 September, pulled up the central government over the delay in filling the vacancies in Tribunals, saying that it was "emasculating" the tribunals. It also censured the Centre for clearing the Tribunal Reforms Bill, 2021, which contains provisions that had previously been struck down by the court.
"There is no respect to judgments of this court. You are testing our patience! How many persons were appointed? You said some persons were appointed?" Chief Justice of India NV Ramana questioned the Centre during the hearing, LiveLaw reported.
