New Delhi: The government can abolish the tribunal if it wants. There is no constitutional obligation to eviction. All the cases heard in the tribunal are under the jurisdiction of the High Court. During the hearing of the Odisha Administrative Tribunal (SAT) case related to the eviction, the Supreme Court judge comprising Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice Sudshanshu Dhulia made such comments.

The government constituted tribunals to hear specific cases. So the government can also remove this tribunal. The Supreme Court clarified that there is no problem in this. During the hearing of the case related to eviction of SAT in the Supreme Court, it was stated by the counsel of Odisha High Court that 72 thousand cases were pending in SAT. The case pending in the SAT has been transferred to the Odisha High Court for hearing. Out of them, the trial process of 30,000 cases has been completed. 8 jurors of Odisha High Court are hearing all such cases.

Therefore, it was stated that there is no need for urgent hearing of the case. After this, the Supreme Court adjourned the hearing of the case. It is worth mentioning here that on August 2, 2019, the central government abolish SAT. Such a decision was challenged first in the High Court and later in the Supreme Court on behalf of the Sat Bar Association.
