Q114 (IAS/2009) Polity & Governance › Constitutional & Statutory Bodies › Central Administrative Tribunal Answer Verified

Consider the following statements : 1. Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) was set up during the Prime Ministership of Lal Bahadur Shastri. 2. The Members for CAT are drawn from both judicial and administrative streams. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect. The Central Administrative Tribunal was established in 1985 under the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 and set up with its principal bench at New Delhi — well after the prime ministership of Lal Bahadur Shastri (1964–66) — so it could not have been created during his tenure [1]. Statement 2 is correct. The Act and institutional practice distinguish Judicial Members and Administrative Members; benches are constituted with representation from both streams, and CAT benches commonly pair a judicial member with an administrative member. The statute explicitly defines “Administrative Member” and “Judicial Member,” reflecting this dual composition of the Tribunal [2].
