Curated summary

The Union government is likely to table the Tribunal Reforms Bill, 2026, in the Lok Sabha. The bill proposes a National Tribunals Commission to handle appointments, review performance and maintain a national grid for 16 tribunals, including the National Green Tribunal. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh backed the move, saying it follows Supreme Court directions after the court struck down key parts of the 2021 law.
