SC on tribunal appointments

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said its judicial intervention saw the government make abrupt efforts to fill up vacancies in tribunals some time back and nothing after that. In September last, a Special Bench led by the CJI accused the Centre of “cherry-picking” names for appointments to tribunals groaning under backlog and left almost defunct by long-pending vacancies. Chandrachud and L. Nageswara Rao, had then “held its hand” on initiating contempt proceedings against the government and allowed the latter two weeks to make appointments to “all the tribunals”. The Bench had addressed the Attorney General about how the government pulled the rug from underneath the hard work of the search-cum-selection committees headed by sitting Supreme Court judges tasked with interviewing and shortlisting suitable candidates for the tribunals.
