Green and raw: On \u2018tribunalisation\u2019 of justice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Centre should clarify how far experience can be treated as expertise for tribunal posts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The establishment of tribunals (any person or institution having an authority to judge, adjudicate on, or to determine claims or disputes)<\/strong> as adjudicatory (relating to making an official decision about who is right in a dispute)<\/strong> bodies in specific fields is based on the idea that specialisation and expertise are required to decide complex cases of a technical nature. The \u2018tribunalisation\u2019 of justice is driven by the recognition that it would be cost-effective, accessible and give scope for utilising expertise in the respective fields. Central to this scheme is the principle that the \u2018experts\u2019 appointed to these tribunals should bring in special knowledge and experience. These criteria came under focus recently when the appointment of former IAS officer, Girija Vaidyanathan, as Expert Member in the Southern Bench of the NGT, was challenged in the Madras High Court. Even though the court initially granted an interim stay (the temporary order of injunction passed by the court while the suit is still pending)<\/strong> on her appointment, it ruled that she was not ineligible, going by the criteria in the NGT Act. She was found to have fulfilled the eligibility requirements by virtue of her administrative experience of nearly five years in \u201cdealing with environmental matters\u201d. The Act spells out (explain something in detail)<\/strong> two kinds of criteria \u2014 one based on qualifications and practical experience, and another on administrative experience in the field \u2014 and a candidate has to fulfil only one of them. For the first, a masters\u2019 or a doctorate in science, engineering or technology, with 15 years\u2019 experience in the relevant field, including five in environment and forests in a national level institution, is needed. The fields include pollution control, hazardous (risky; dangerous)<\/strong> substance management and forest conservation (carefully using valuable natural substances that exist in limited amounts in order to make certain that they will be available for as long a time as possible)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"SBI<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the administrative experience criterion is shorn of detail (be shorn of something means to have something valuable or important taken away from you)<\/strong>, and merely stipulates 15 years\u2019 experience, of which five should have been in \u201cdealing with environmental matters\u201d in either the Centre or the State or any reputed institution. Even though Ms. Vaidyanathan\u2019s stint (a person’s fixed or allotted period of work)<\/strong> as Secretary, Environment and Forests, Tamil Nadu, and Chairperson of the State Pollution Control Board together amounted to only 28 months, the court accepted the contention that her tenure as Health Secretary should also be considered. The court also observed wryly (in a way that expresses dry, especially mocking, humor)<\/strong> that it is an entirely different matter whether administrative experience in the second criterion should be regarded as equivalent to \u201cthe real expertise\u201d indicated in the clause on qualifications. The court rightly declined to interfere with the appointment, as the equivalence found in the rules falls under the domain of Parliament. At a time when the need, relevance and composition of tribunals are under judicial scrutiny, and the Centre itself has abolished some of them, it would be salutary ((especially with reference to something unwelcome or unpleasant) producing good effects; beneficial)<\/strong> if the government spelt out with clarity, as the court has suggested, the extent to which a bureaucrat\u2019s involvement in environmental matters could be regarded as equivalent to expertise. It should also show greater urgency in implementing earlier Supreme Court directions to constitute a National Tribunals Commission to supervise the appointment and functioning of tribunals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
