Govt may OK amendments in Administrative Tribunals Act: Zee News
New Delhi: The Centre is likely to give its nod to changes in a bill aimed at making sitting and retired Supreme Court judges and high court chief justices eligible for chairmanship of Central Administrative Tribunal entrusted with resolving service matters of government employees.
The Administrative Tribunals (Amendment) Bill, 2012, which will be taken up for consideration by Union Cabinet on Thursday, also envisages raising salaries and other benefits of the chairman of the tribunal on same terms as of a Supreme Court judge or the chief justice of a high court.
Other members shall be eligible to the benefits that are applicable to a high court judge, the draft amendment bill says.
The draft legislation was introduced in the Lok Sabha on April 27, 2012 by Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, V Narayanasamy. In May last year, it was referred to a Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice.
