Mumbai bench gets new premises of CAT

CJI Chandrachud stated that an ongoing struggle persists over control of judge appointments amid vacancies and prolonged delays.

He was speaking at the inauguration of the new premises of the Mumbai bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT).

CJI Chandrachud said tribunals in the country play a very important role in helping unclog delays in courts and in aiding the overall dispensation of justice.

Our tribunals are by and large plagued with problems and then we ask ourselves was it really necessary to constitute so many tribunals, he said

He said the members of the bar and bench (lawyers and judges) in Maharashtra should not forget the favourable conditions in which they work
