JAMMU, Oct 21: The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) Jammu bench has dismissed a frivolous petition filed by one Ragubir Singh and imposed cost of Rs 10,000.
The order in this regard has been passed by the Division Bench comprising Judicial Member Rajinder Dogra and Administrative Member Ram Mohan Johri with the observation that applicant had concealed the facts and unnecessarily dragged the private respondent Sunesh Kumar before the court.
The applicant had challenged the provisional selection list of the Inspectors in the Finance Department wherein Sunesh Kumar was selected in the ex-servicemen category. There was instruction in the advertisement that a person who had already got the benefit of ex-servicemen category cannot avail the second benefit in the same category.
The applicant obtained stay from the court against the appointment of respondent on the ground that Sunesh Kumar had already obtained the benefit of ex-servicemen category by working in the Accounts Section in the Panchayat. However, it was revealed later that there was a corrigendum to the advertisement notification whereby it was made clear that a person who had already obtained benefit of ex-servicemen category in some other post can get the same in other advertisement.
Taking serious note of this, the CAT dismissed the petition with the cost while observing that unnecessarily the private respondent was dragged to the court and compelled to engage the lawyer.
