The Story in Brief
The Rajasthan High Court has told the Principal Secretary of the Department of Personnel to personally appear if vacant posts in the Rajasthan Civil Services Appellate Tribunal are not filled before the next hearing, set for August 11, 2026. A division bench recorded the Advocate General’s assurance that two tribunal members would be appointed within a week. The court acted on a petition noting that the chairman and both judicial and administrative member posts lie empty, leaving thousands of transferred government employees with no forum to challenge their orders.
The Indian Opinion
Watching courts prod the state into filling tribunal seats feels like a rinse-and-repeat cycle. Government apologists call it 'procedural delay', but employees left in limbo after mass transfers know better. The HC’s threat to drag the Principal Secretary to court is warranted; similar orders have been ignored before. The real test will come on August 11, when the state must show it can staff a body meant to deliver timely justice to its own workforce. If the seats remain empty, no amount of paperwork excuses can mask the neglect.
