SC to probe NCLT bar association’s legal standing to fight Centre notification on tribunal terms

Whether tribunal members can extend depends on one ruling

The Supreme Court will examine the NCLT bar association’s locus standi as it challenges the Centre’s 2019 notification that fixed tribunal members’ terms at three years or until age 65.

  • Extension beyond three years depends on the locus ruling
  • Next hearing scheduled for July 20
