Justice is a concept of rightness, fairness based on morals, ethics, rationality. Laws made by sovereign authority strive for achieving justice to various sections of society. The concept of Access of justice in its simplest sense means right of an individual to approach the authorities dispensing justice. Access to justice is one the fundamental goals of the civilised society. The significance of the virtue of “access to justice” in the Indian context could be better understood by the report of National Commission on the working of the Constitution wherein it suggested to incorporate “access to justice” as one of the Fundamental Rights by incorporating Article 30A in the Constitution. In fact, access to justice has already been granted the status of the fundamental right in most of the international legal document. Peace and harmony is very essential for the growth and development of a nation which can be ensured through fair administration of justice. Access to justice in its general term is understood individual’s access to court for getting justice. This mode of justice delivery system though the primary one, has many shortcomings like inordinate delay, cost and technical hurdles etc which hassled to the growth of many other alternative modes of dispute resolutions like Tribunals, Mediation, Conciliation etc. Tribunals are the administrative bodies established for the purpose of discharging quasi-judicial duties. The primary reason for the establishment of tribunals was to overcome the crisis of delay and provide adjudication of the disputes by the expert body. By inserting Article 323A and 323B by 42nd Constitutional Amendment in 1976, Tribunals were given the Constitutional status. This paper focuses on the working of the tribunals in the administration of justice. The paper attempts to understand that whether the objective with which the Tribunals were established have been achieved or not. Thus, the primary goal of the paper is to establish the significance of the tribunals as a mode of access to justice.
