New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday slammed the Centre for enacting the Tribunals Reforms Act, 2021 in violation of its judgments.
A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India NV Ramana said that the government is leaving the Supreme Court with no option but to either initiate contempt of court action or close down tribunals.
"The Tribunal Reforms Act is a replica of the provisions struck down in Madras Bar Association case. We cannot have Madras Bar Association 1,2,3,4,5... This will continue and the act will be passed which will be a replica of the earlier one. Also you need to clear appointments that are cleared and in the pipeline," said Justice DY Chandrachud.
It then listed the matter for hearing on Monday.
