Tribunal appointments via a Search-cum-Selection Committee determine eligibility, tenure, reappointment preference and grounds for removal. Appointments of Tribunal Chairpersons and Members are made by the Central Government on recommendation of a Search-cum-Selection Committee comprising a senior judicial nominee, two secretaries, a tribunal-related member and the departmental Member-Secretary; the Committee determines procedure, the Chair has a casting vote, it must recommend a panel of two names, and the Government is expected to act promptly. Tenure, re-appointment preference, remuneration parity with equivalent Central posts, eligibility age limits, transitional protections, and removal grounds including insolvency, conviction, incapacity, conflict of interest or abuse of position are prescribed.
