CHAIRMAN, JHARKHAND STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD, JHARKHAND, RANCHI. …………………………………………………RESPONDENTS. ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. J.P. Shukla, Senior Advocate. For the Union of India : Mr. Md. Abu Haider, C.G.C. ----------- 5. 7.1.2011. On going through the impugned judgment of the Central Administrative Tribunal passed by the Administrative Member, initially we were inclined to agree with the submission that when the prayer was made for hearing by a Division Bench, the learned Member should have referred the matter to a Division Bench. However, on going through the discussions made in the impugned judgment, we are in agreement that the petitioner had approached the Tribunal with a grievance relating to his remuneration for the post 2 retirement assignment as a Member of the State Advisory Board for Bihar State Electricity Board. In our considered view, the subject matter and the grievance raised by the petitioner did not lie within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal and, hence, we find no good reason to remand the matter for hearing by a Division Bench of the Tribunal. Since we have agreed with the Tribunal on the issue of lack of jurisdiction, this Writ Petition is dismissed but with a liberty that the petitioner may raise his grievance, if so advised, through a Writ Petition before this Court, which shall be considered on its own merit.
