Noting that not appointing members to tribunals amounted to deprivation of justice to litigants, Telangana High Court on Tuesday issued notices to Union Law Ministry and the Railways in a PIL petition seeking appointment of Member (Judicial) to Railway Claims Tribunal.
A bench of Justices A. Rajasheker Reddy and T. Vinod Kumar directed the Law Ministry and the Railways to file affidavits by October 4. The bench observed that earlier people used to approach civil courts in case of any grievances.
With the government constituting tribunals, they would approach the latter in case of any issue relating to a specific department.
