This article was introduced by the 42nd Amendment in 1976 and was not discussed in the Constituent Assembly. The purpose of this article was to create an alternative mechanism for speedy and specialized justice in administrative matters, and to exclude the jurisdiction of all courts except the Supreme Court under Article 136.
