C. Administrative Concerns: Non-Uniformity in Regulation

Qualifications: Different qualification requirements lead to varying competencies, maturity and status of members, which is problematic since tribunals often operate at the same level as that of High Courts.

Tenure: Short tenure of 3-5 years precludes the cultivation of domain expertise, which can impact the efficacy of tribunals.

Variance: There is a degree of variance in the appointment process, qualification of members, age of retirement, resources and infrastructure of different tribunals. This is due to tribunals operating under different ministries.
