The General Manager Western Railway Zone Kota & Ors. Date of order : January 09, 2009. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Smt. Pankaj Sharma for the petitioner. Shri Ajay Tantia for the respondents. **** BY THE COURT :- This writ petition has been filed by the widow of railway servant. Prayer has been made that the respondents be directed to pay to the petitioners all the pensionary benefits. It has also been prayed that respondents may further be directed to quash the Succession Certificate issued by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Bayana. 2) I am afraid, this petition is not mainainable before this court in view of the judgment of the Apex Court in L.Chandra Kumar Vs. Union of SBCWP No.7614/02. 2 India & Ors. : AIR 1997 SC 1125 wherein, Hon'ble Apex Court has observed that the writ petition is not maintainable directly before the High Court. Jurisdiction of High Court vested in it under Articles 226 & 227 of the Constitution of India can only be invoked only by way of filing writ petition before the Division Bench only after rejection of the Original Application by the Central Administrative Tribunal and not otherwise. 3) Petitioners shall have to first approach the Central Administrative Tribunal. Learned counsel for the petitioners at this stage submitted that he may have difficulty in approaching the Tribunal now because of limitation and therefore prayed that this matter may be transmitted to the Tribunal. Prayer is declined. 4) Petitioners may directly make an application before the Tribunal with their submission regarding delay giving all these reasons so as to take advantate of Section 5 as well as Section 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963 read with Section 21 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. In view of the observations made above, the writ petition is dismissed being not maintainable. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. anil
