Administrative Tribunals

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Set up under Article 323A via the 42nd Amendment to provide quick redressal of disputes relating to public services. The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) addresses grievances of central government employees, while state administrative tribunals handle respective state services. They reduce High Court burden by offering specialized expertise in service matters—promotions, transfers, or disciplinary actions. Tribunal orders can be challenged in the Supreme Court on limited grounds. While enhancing efficiency and technical understanding, tribunals risk procedural irregularities and partial judicial independence. Despite that, they are essential to timely resolution of service-related disputes, aiding in effective public administration.
