ABSTRACT
This paper presents a critical evaluation of the case, L. Chandra Kumar vs. Union of India1 (1997), particularly the constitutionality of the Administrative Tribunals under articles 323A & 323B. This supports the Supreme Court’s decision that while judicial review is woven into the very fabric of the Constitution, it means constant scrutiny of the tribunals’ decisions by the High Courts. The discussion is taken further to include the effect in the Administrative Tribunals Act 1985 and provides a look at some appropriate cases. In addition, the requirements for changes to improve the work of tribunals while preserving the constitution are discussed.
Keywords: Administrative Tribunals, Judicial Review, Doctrine of Basic Structure, Precedent
