SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: DATED: DATED: 23RD JULY, 2008 23RD JULY, 2008 23RD JULY, 2008 P.C. P.C. P.C.: 1. The appellant has unfortunately been driven from pillar to post and his grievance about the wrongful termination of his services in 1977 has not been redressed so far. The appellant has filed a suit in the City Civil Court seeking the relief of reinstatement and an injunction amongst other reliefs. The City Civil Court held that it had no jurisdiction and the matter was transferred to the Central Administrative Tribunal (in short CAT). However, the CAT has directed that since it had no jurisdiction the matter be re-transferred to the City Civil Court. The appellant has, therefore, challenged the order dated 7.8.1998 passed by the City Civil Court earlier, transferring the 2 case to the CAT. However, the appellant now wishes to challenge the order of the CAT dated 24.3.2003. Mr.Suresh Kumar points out that, in fact, the CAT had jurisdiction to decide the appellant’s case and not the City Civil Court. 2. In this view of the matter, the learned advocate for the appellant seeks leave to withdraw this appeal with liberty to challenge the order of the CAT dated 24.3.2003 before this Court. He submits that liberty be also granted to the appellant to challenge the orders passed in this petition in the event the Division Bench does not accept his challenge to the decision of the CAT. 3. Allowed to be withdrawn with liberty as prayed for. 4. The City Civil Court shall not proceed with the matter for a period of three weeks from today. 5. Appeal from order stands dismissed as withdrawn.
