SC to hear plea raising issue of vacancies in industrial tribunals

New Delhi, 16/7: The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on Monday a plea which has raised the issue of vacancies in the Central Government Industrial Tribunal and said that nine out of its 22 benches are vacant.

The apex court had on July 5 sought response of the Centre on the plea seeking directions for filling up vacancies in the Central Government Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Courts (CGIT-cum-LCs).

 

The top court had taken note of the plea that out of 22 tribunals, nine do not have presiding officers and vacancies are likely to arise in 2023 in three more tribunals.

 

The matter is slated to come up for hearing on Monday before a bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha and Manoj Misra
