In Brief
The Supreme Court clarified the age of superannuation for members of various tribunals following confusion in tribunal notifications. ITAT and CESTAT Members serve until age 62 (Presidents until 65); AFT Members until age 65 (former Supreme Court Judge Chairpersons until 70); CAT continues under old rules. The Court held that tribunal tenure should not disadvantage officers compared to their parent service. A status report was directed within two weeks on vacancies and selection processes across all tribunals.
