Previous 100 picks ‘ignored’, SC judge-led panels stop interviews for tribunal posts
NEW DELHI: The statutory selection committees led by Supreme Court judges have collectively decided to stop conducting interviews to recommend names for appointment of members to important tribunals till the bureaucracy clears 100 names that are already recommended even as vacancies have rendered the tribunals dysfunctional.
TOI has learnt the collective decision by SC judges to stop further selection process had led to a bench of CJI V Ramana and Justice Surya Kant on Friday expressing unhappiness over the slack approach in filling vacancies in key tribunals.
The SC is unhappy with the governnment’s slack approach in filling vaccines in important tribunals relating to armed forces, central government employees and in important sectors like telecom, environment, income tax, central excise and sales tax, debt recovery, corporate insolvency and company law.
