Parliament Clears Tribunals Reforms Bill, 2026 Setting Up Commission

Parliament Clears Tribunals Reforms Bill, 2026 Setting Up Commission

India's Parliament just passed a new law about special courts called tribunals.

Tribunals are like helper courts that try to decide cases faster than regular courts.

The new law creates a special group called the National Tribunal Commission.

This group will choose the judges, called chairpersons and members, who work in 16 different tribunals.

The government says the selection will be fair, transparent, and based on merit.

Tribunal judges will serve for five years, and their pay and rules will be written down clearly.

The Supreme Court had earlier told the government to create this commission.

The opposition parties were upset and walked out when their leader was not allowed to speak.

The new law replaces an older 2021 law about tribunals.

The goal is to make justice faster and easier for everyone, especially for businesses.
