NO.1264/2011 IN WRIT PETITION NO.1873 OF 2011 (Union of India and others vs. Shri Krushnakumar Kanhayyalal and others) __________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND A.P. BHANGALE, JJ. DATED : MAY 6, 2011 Heard Shri Sundaram, learned Counsel for the applicants/petitioners, Mrs. Deshpande, learned Counsel for the respondent nos. 1 to 5, and Shri Mathur, learned Counsel for the respondent no.6. Shri Sundaram, learned Counsel for the applicants/petitioners, has brought to the notice of this Court the order dated 25/4/2011 passed by this Court whereby Writ Petition No.1873/2011 came to be disposed of with a direction to the Central Administrative Tribunal to take up the original 2 application filed by the respondents for hearing on 2/5/2011. The said direction was given considering the issue involved in the original application, which pertains to selection of Loco Inspector, which is the safety post in the Department and, therefore, selection process needs to be completed as early as possible in accordance with law. Shri Sundaram, learned Counsel for the applicants/petitioners, states that the Tribunal, which was supposed to have sitting at Nagpur on 2/5/2011, has cancelled its sitting due to some unavoidable reasons. It is, therefore, prayed that Mumbai Bench of the Tribunal may be directed to take up the original application for hearing. Mrs. Deshpande, learned Counsel for the respondent nos. 1 to 5, and Shri Mathur, learned Counsel for the respondent no.6, state that even if sitting of the Tribunal, which was supposed to be on 2/5/2011 at Nagpur has been cancelled, the next sitting of the Tribunal will be in the month of June/July 2011 and, therefore, no such direction at this stage is necessary. It is no doubt true that the original 3 application is pending before the Tribunal in respect of the issue of selection of Loco Inspector and process of appointment needs to be accelerated, however, convenience of the parties also cannot be ignored. In the interest of justice, we permit the applicants (petitioners in Writ Petition No.1873/2011) to approach Mumbai Bench of the Tribunal for necessary orders. We expect the Tribunal to consider the request, if made by the applicants/petitioners for taking up the original application for hearing in the context of the issue involved in the original application. With these observations, the civil application is disposed of. Copy of this order be given to the learned Counsel for the applicants/petitioners. JUDGE JUDGE khj
