Heard learned counsels for the petitioners and the Respondents. The petitioners have filed this writ application for regularization of their services and have challenged the temporary 2 status of ‘Mazdoor’ given to private respondent nos. 5 to 9 who are juniors to the petitioners. Mr. J.P. Karn appearing for Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited raises a preliminary objection. He submits that on 31st of October, 2008, Government of India, issued notification, in terms of Section 14(3) of the Administrative Tribunal’s Act 1985, notifying Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited to be one of the authorities covered by the said Act. He submits that now all such disputes including that being raised by the petitioner is cognizable by the Administrative Tribunal which would be the proper forum for the petitioner to move. In view of this Court, it will be proper to grant leave to the petitioners to seek their remedy and reliefs first before the Administrative Tribunal which is the appropriate forum and the Tribunal would consider the same in accordance with law. It is expected that if any such application is being filed on behalf of the petitioners the learned Administrative Tribunal will consider the question of limitation keeping in view that the 3 petitioners were pursuing their remedy before this Court under the writ jurisdiction. With this observation, this application is disposed off. U. K. ( Dinesh Kumar Singh, J)
