I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. The dispute raised by the petitioner in the present writ petition pertains to the service of her late husband with the Railways. The learned counsel for the petitioner has not disputed that following the judgment of the Supreme Court in L.Chandra Kumar v. Union of India[1], a writ petition in the first instance is not maintainable. The aggrieved party has to first approach the Central Administrative Tribunal before seeking judicial review of the action of the respondents. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to approach the Central Administrative Tribunal, if the grievances raised by her in this writ petition still persist. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.Nos.17347 of 2007 and 5074 of 2008 are disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 24th June, 2011 VGB [1] AIR 1997 SC 1125
