This statement is True. 

  • In addition to the courts, there are tribunals established by both the Central Government as well as the State Governments to deal with disputes of a specialized nature e.g., the Armed Forces Tribunal, the Income Tax Tribunal, Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal, etc. 
  • The functioning of these tribunals is governed by separate laws. Hence, they are called quasi-federal.
