Extension of Tribunal Members’ Tenures

 The Supreme Court approved the Central government’s proposal to extend the terms of chairpersons and members of various national tribunals (e.g., under the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal, National Green Tribunal) who are set to retire soon, till September 8, 2026. This interim measure addresses vacancies while a new tribunal law is prepared. Chief Justice Surya Kant stressed accountability, questioning extensions for underperforming members.
