(3) Each Tribunal shall have such jurisdiction and over such area as the Government may, by notification, from time to time, determine. (4) The qualifications to be possessed by persons for appointment as members of a Tribunal and the conditions of service of such members shall be such as may be prescribed.

(6) If for any reason a vacancy (other than a temporary absence) occurs in the office of the Chairman of any Tribunal or any other member of any Tribunal, then the Government shall appoint another person in accordance with the provisions of this Act to fill the vacancy and the proceedings may be continued before the Tribunal from the stage at which the vacancy is filled. (7) No act or proceeding before any Tribunal shall be called in question in any manner on the ground merely of the existence of any vacancy in or defect in the constitution of such Tribunal. 76
