THE SECTION ENGINEER, P. WAY UNDER THE DEN, E. C. RAILWAY, DANAPUR ...RESPONDENTS ----------- For the petitioners: Mr. Gautam Bose, Sr. Advocate Ms. Ratna Das, Advocate For the railways: Mr. Sudhir Singh, Advocate ---------- 2 20-09-2010 Heard the parties. Petitioner is in service under the railways as a Trackman. On account of some illness he filed representations before the railways authorities for transferring him in some other department or to assign him with some other work due to his physical condition. Allegedly, no decision was taken on the representations filed by the petitioner and, therefore, he preferred O.A. no. 431/2010 before the Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Bench, Patna. Learned Tribunal by the impugned order 22-7-2010 held that the grievance of the petitioner does not come within the definition of “condition of 2 service” as defined in Section 3 (Q) of the Administrative Tribunal Act. On hearing the parties and going through the definition given in Section 3 (Q) of the Act, we find that it is wide enough to include any other matter whatsoever as given in sub clause 3 (Q) (v). Further, in exercise of writ jurisdiction, we are persuaded to direct the respondents- railways to look into the representations of the petitioner and if the same are still pending and have not been disposed of by the competent authority as yet then to dispose of the said representations in accordance with law within a period of three months from today. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. BKS/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
