https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=209529 Section 8 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 is read as fixing a Member's term at five years, extendable by one further five-year term, with an outer age limit of sixty-five years. Section 10A preserves prior service for persons appointed before the amendment, but fresh consideration remains subject to the amended eligibility scheme and the overall ten-year ceiling for Members. Read together, the provisions reflect a legislative intent to cap total tenure at ten years and prevent an interpretation that would allow reappointment beyond that limit. The construction also avoids anomalous results and gives effect to the statute's plain language. en-us Tue, 04 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 08 May 2025 10:52:40 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=209529 Section 8 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 is read as fixing a Member's term at five years, extendable by one further five-year term, with an outer age limit of sixty-five years.
