Article 323A was held to be enabling, not mandatory, so it did not require continued existence of State Administrative Tribunals or bar abolition. Section 21 of the General Clauses Act permitted rescission of the notification establishing the Tribunal, and the abolition was neither arbitrary nor violative of Article 14 or access to justice, as service disputes would continue before the High Court.
