      Solution

      Section 2(c) defines 'appointed day' in relation to a Tribunal as the date on which such Tribunal is established under sub-section (1) of Section 3, or, in relation to an Appellate Tribunal, the date on which it is established under sub-section (1) of Section 8. The appointed day is critical because Section 17(1) and Section 18 use this expression to trigger the jurisdiction of DRTs and the bar of civil courts. Different Tribunals may have different 'appointed days' depending on when they were established by notification. The 24th June, 1993 is the date of commencement of the Act under Section 1(3), which is distinct from the 'appointed day' of individual Tribunals.
