Which of the following subjects was addressed by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment, granting Parliament the authority to establish tribunals?
Service conditions of public servants
The 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976 was a sweeping amendment enacted during the Emergency period.
Among its many provisions, it inserted Article 323A and Article 323B into the Constitution, empowering Parliament to establish Administrative Tribunals to adjudicate disputes relating to the service conditions of public servants.
Article 323A specifically covers recruitment and conditions of service of persons appointed to public services — leading to the enactment of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 and the creation of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT).
Religious disputes, election disputes of states only, or judicial review of High Court laws are not the subjects addressed by the tribunal-creation provisions of this amendment.
Hence, service conditions of public servants is the subject addressed by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment granting Parliament the authority to establish tribunals.
