CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The Supreme Court struck down provisions of the Tribunals Reforms Act, 2021 in Madras Bar Association v. Union of India.
The 2026 Bill repeals that Act and puts a new selection structure in its place.
The National Green Tribunal and the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal are among the 16 tribunals the Bill covers. It changes how they are staffed, not the laws that set them up.
Worth noting
The Bill's name and the Act it repeals differ by a single letter and five years. Read the year, not the words.
