INTRODUCTION


The Indian Judicial System can be dated as back as to the Dravidian era where a set of laws
were supervised and followed. When the Aryans arrived, they followed suit and later, every
community  who immigrated made  sure to implement their own laws and formulate their own
system of justice. For a great number of years, the act of delivering justice was usually
bestowed upon a ruler, it wasn't until colonization that the establishment of courts took place
in the country. It was during 1600s that the first court was established by the British Raj.
Though  the fairness of the system was quite questionable, the introduction of courts was surely
a new phase in the country's history as it established an eligibility criteria for people who aimed
to deliver justice.


As of today, the Supreme Court of India is the apex court of the nation whose jurisdiction
applies to the entire country, succeeded by the High Courts who exercise their jurisdiction in
their own respective states. Further, the judiciary is divided into two categories, the Civil Courts
and the Criminal Courts, this is where majority of the matters are heard and disposed of.
However, over the years, it has been observed that the courts are burdened with cases that far
exceed their capacity, with evolving times, many new issues have been raised and former issues
have remained unsolved.


Thus, it didn't come as a surprise when in the case of S.P. Sampath Kumar v. Union of India,1
a need to establish specialized tribunals was set forward before the Supreme Court. To
strengthen this resolution even more, the 124th Report by the Law Commission of India
presented a detailed analysis as to why independent tribunals should be established, and how
they should be formulated to deal with cases of their own expertise. The resolution was
accepted, and the tribunals were formed.
