Which of the following statements is/are correct about the State Admin...
Answer:
Introduction:
State Administrative Tribunals (SATs) are specialized quasi-judicial bodies that have been established to resolve disputes and grievances related to the recruitment and conditions of service of public servants. The Administrative Tribunals Act of 1985 provides the legal framework for the establishment and functioning of SATs. In this context, let's analyze the given statements.
Statement 1: The Administrative Tribunals Act of 1985 empowers the Central government to establish the State Administrative Tribunals (SATs) on the specific request of the concerned state governments.
The statement is correct.
- The Administrative Tribunals Act of 1985 empowers the Central government to establish SATs in a state if the concerned state government makes a specific request for the same.
- This provision ensures that SATs are established only in states where the need for such tribunals is identified by the concerned state government.
- The Act enables the Central government to establish SATs in multiple states, based on the requests received.
Statement 2: The Chairman and the members of the SAT(s) are appointed by the Governor, after consultation with the Chief Minister of the state concerned.
The statement is incorrect.
- As per the Administrative Tribunals Act of 1985, the Chairman and members of the SATs are appointed by the President of India.
- The President makes these appointments after consultation with the Chief Justice of India, or his nominee, and the Governor of the state concerned.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the correct statement is statement 1, while statement 2 is incorrect. The Administrative Tribunals Act of 1985 empowers the Central government to establish SATs in states based on specific requests from the concerned state governments. The Chairman and members of the SATs are appointed by the President of India, not the Governor, after consultation with the Chief Justice of India and the Governor of the state concerned.
