Mergers of National Tribunals

A large number of tribunals are functioning under the administrative charge of various Ministries/ Departments of India. Keeping in view the possibility that some of the tribunals can be converged/merged to avoid overlapping/identical functions being discharged by them, the Government is exploring the possibility of merging these tribunals. Accordingly, the Ministries/Departments which are administratively concerned with these tribunals have been requested to furnish information on the functioning of these tribunals and possibility to merge the functions of the tribunals with some other tribunals.

This information was given by Union Minister of Law and Justice Shri D. V. Sadananda Gowda in a written reply in Lok Sabha yesterday.

such judicial administrative authority under supervisory jurisdiction of relevant high courts administrative jurisdiction instead of forming some ministries, that means such authority shall function as any independent authority like CGA while all the expenses shall be charged to the consolidated funds of india so that there is no annual budget presented by finance ministry in Lok sabha.

The events which are from different places will end up with genuine Jurisdiction problems.Hence,the presnet system of state-wise Tribunals is less expensive, in place of travelling long distance to place like Delhi...Clause of Jurisdiction...has to be examined in detail, before merger proposal...
