The Supreme Court of India struck down key provisions of the Tribunal Reforms Act 2021 as unconstitutional. The court invalidated the 4-year tenure limits and the 50-year minimum age requirement for tribunal members, holding that these provisions undermined judicial independence.

The court directed the establishment of a National Tribunal Commission within 4 months and restored safeguards from the Madras Bar Association (MBA) IV and V judgments. This ruling strengthens the independence of tribunals including those relevant to Rajasthan such as the Central Administrative Tribunal and the National Green Tribunal benches hearing Aravalli and mining cases.
