It has been contended in a batch of pleas that there was a grave danger that the judiciary will be substituted by a host of quasi-judicial tribunals which function as departments of various ministries.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi sought to defend the creation of tribunals but the court posed several questions to him on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Which enactment conferred the tribunals with exclusive power to decide a substantial question of law and if the validity of that Act has been upheld&#8221;? the bench, also comprising justices JS Khehar, J Chelameswar, AK Sikri and Rohinton Nariman, asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What are you achieving ultimately?
