Exp) Option b is the correct answer

The Tribunals Reforms Act, 2021 sought to dissolve eight tribunals that functioned as appellate bodies to hear disputes under various statutes, and transferred their functions to existing judicial forums such as a civil court or a High Court.

Statement 1 is correct. The Act empowered the central government to notify rules on: composition of search-cumselection committees, qualifications of tribunal members, and their terms and conditions of service (such as their removal and salaries).

Statement 2 is incorrect. The Chairperson and Members of the Tribunals will be appointed by the central government on the recommendation of a Search-cum-Selection Committee (and not Chief Justice of India). The Committee will consist of the Chief Justice of India, or a Supreme Court Judge nominated by him, as the Chairperson (with casting vote), two Secretaries nominated by the central government, the sitting or outgoing Chairperson, or a retired Supreme Court Judge, or a retired Chief Justice of a High Court, and the Secretary of the Ministry under which the Tribunal is constituted (with no voting right).

Statement 3 is correct. It states that the central government shall, on the recommendation of the Search-cum-Selection Committee, remove from office any Chairperson or a Member, who— a) has been adjudged as an insolvent; or b) has been convicted of an offence which involves moral turpitude; or c) has become physically or mentally incapable of acting as such Chairperson or Member; or d) has acquired such financial or other interest as is likely to affect prejudicially his functions as such Chairperson or Member; or e) has so abused his position as to render his continuance in office prejudicial to the public interest
