The Supreme Court has declared the Tribunal Reforms Act unconstitutional, criticizing the government’s repeated attempts to undermine tribunal independence. A bench led by CJI Gavai found the Act to be a near-replica of a previously struck-down ordinance, violating separation of powers and judicial independence. This ruling emphasizes constitutional supremacy over parliamentary discretion. NEW DELHI: Supreme Court struck down Wednesday the Tribunal Reforms Act as unconstitutional and slammed the central govt for its repeated attempts to override SC’s consistent rulings to shield the judicial independence of tribunals, which decide disputes in a gamut of regimes – taxation, environment, electricity, telecom and real estate. Days before his retirement, a CJI B R Gavai-led bench deprecated the Centre’s repeated attempts to tinker with the qualifications, tenure and service conditions for chairpersons and members of the tribunals and took umbrage that within weeks of SC striking down the Tribunal Reforms Ordinance in July 2021, the govt tabled a bill in Parliament to enact the law whose provisions were identical to that of the ordinance. Censuring the govt for “consciously attempting to annul the rulings” by enacting a law that had “cosmetically changed a few provisions” of the annulled law, the bench of CJI Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran said, “The Tribunal Reforms Act, 2021 is a replica of the struck-down ordinance; old wine in a new bottle, the wine whets not the judicial palate, but the bottle merely dazzles.” The verdict means that, pending the enactment of a new law, the service conditions of tribunal presidents and members would be governed by their parent Acts. For example, ITAT Act would govern service conditions of ITAT president and members. Writing the judgment, CJI Gavai said, “The provisions of the impugned Act cannot be sustained. They violate the constitutional principles of separation of powers and judicial independence.” SC: Parl’s discretion broad, not absolute The Supreme Court said the Act directly contradicts binding judicial pronouncements that have repeatedly clarified the standards governing the appointment, tenure and functioning of tribunal members. The bench said that the Act, which intended to usher in uniformity in tenure and service conditions of all tribunal members, undermined the constitutional requirements of independence and impartiality of tribunals by enabling the executive to exercise control over them.The Supreme Court said, “Where Parliament reenacts provisions previously struck down without curing the underlying defect, the resulting legislation remains vulnerable to invalidation, not because the Court is imposing its own policy, but because the Constitution itself demands adherence to these structural safeguards.””The Indian constitutional framework does not subscribe to parliamentary sovereignty, nor does it vest unqualified supremacy in the judiciary. “The architecture of our Constitution is firmly rooted in the principle of constitutional supremacy.”It said that when SC interprets the Constitution and pronounces upon the validity of a law, that pronouncement becomes the authoritative and binding declaration of the law.”Once the court has struck down a provision or issued binding directions after identifying a constitutional defect, Parliament cannot simply override or contradict that judicial decision by re-enacting the very same measure in a different form,” CJI Gavai said.Supreme Court said Parliament’s discretion is broad but not absolute.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosNitish Kumar To Take CM Oath For Record 10th Time At Patna’s Gandhi Maidan, PM Modi To AttendBangladesh To Seek Interpol’s Help To Extradite Sheikh Hasina From India’Fatwa Issued…’: BJP Jabs ‘Indira Nazi Congress’ For Criticising Tharoor Over Modi Speech PraiseRussia Showcases Missile-Only Pantsir SMD-E Air Defence System At Dubai Airshow 2025’We Hit India…’: Pakistani Leader’s Explosive Admission Unmasks Islamabad’s Terror Links Again’Can’t Rule Out All-Out War’: Pakistan’s Khawaja Asif Rattled Over Army Chief’s Sindoor 2.0 WarningSydney Horror Crash Kills 8-Month Pregnant Indian After Teen BMW Driver Slams Into Family WalkIndia Expands Its Diplomatic Presence In Russia As Jaishankar Highlights Strategic New ConsulatesTaliban Trade Minister Lands in Delhi Amid Major Afghan Shift Toward India After Pakistan ConflictChina’s Propaganda Strike On India Exposed, US Report Details Fake Jet Debris And J-35 Sales Tactics123PhotostoriesKajol’s films that open a quiet doorway back to nineties nostalgia5 national parks to visit in South America for adventure loversAre you eating chia seeds the wrong way?

The Supreme Court criticized the CBI’s “friendly and cool” approach in probing Indiabulls Housing Finance’s financial irregularities. The court questioned the corporate affairs ministry’s decision to close Sebi and ED-flagged governance issues, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation into multi-layered transactions and loan round-tripping. NEW DELHI: Supreme Court Wednesday criticised CBI’s “friendly and cool” approach in probing serious irregularities in financial transactions of Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd (IHFL), now Sammaan Capital Ltd, and questioned corporate affairs ministry’s decisions to close corporate governance illegalities flagged by market regulator Sebi and ED.Clarifying it has neither expressed opinion on merits of the allegations nor commented on Sammaan Capitals, a bench of CJI-designate Surya Kant and Justices U Bhuyan and N K Singh said, “CBI has shown a very cool and friendly approach in this case. We have never seen such an approach in probing alleged misuse or siphoning of public money.”Its clarification came after senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi said there is not a single allegation of financial irregularities against the present group.SC said, “There is strong public interest in a threadbare investigation into allegations which create a genuine doubt about the multi-layered transactions and round-tripping of loan amounts. Even if a fraction of the allegation turns out to be prima facie true, it requires registration of FIR, followed by a proper investigation.”It said, “Registration of FIR (by CBI and giving rise to a predicate offence) will strengthen the hands of ED, SFIO and Sebi.” Turning to allegations by advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for NGO Citizens Whistleblower Forum, the bench questioned the wisdom of the ministry in closing complaints of corporate governance irregularities against IHFL. “What is the interest of the ministry in this,” it asked.ED through additional solicitor general S V Raju complained that the directorate had sent a complaint in this regard to Economic Offences Wing of Delhi Police, which had through a terse communication informed closure of complaints against IHFL, claiming to have found no substance behind the allegations. SC asked the Delhi Police commissioner to depute a senior officer from EOW with relevant documents to appraise the court about the nature of investigations carried out prior to closing the probe.It also directed the CBI director to convene a joint meeting within two weeks of senior officials from ED, SFIO and Sebi for charting out the course of investigation and whether formation of an SIT was required to probe the alleged widespread irregularities, which the NGO alleged to have involved IHFL, Reliance ADAG, Chordia group, and Rana Kapoor family group. SC posted the matter for further hearing after three weeks.Later, in a statement, Rohatgi said, “The present petition before SC does not contain any allegation against Sammaan Capital.
