JUSTICE SHIVAJI PANDEY and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SHIVA KIRTI SINGH DATE: 06-07-2011 ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SHIVAJI PANDEY) ---------------------- 7. 6.7.2011 Heard the parties. There is no dispute that at the relevant time there was no notification under Section 14 (2) of the Administrative Tribunal Act, 1985 extending the jurisdiction of the Central Administrative Tribunal over B.S.N.L., a Government Company. On that account, according to the learned counsel for the petitioner the order of the Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Bench dated 19.1.2005 passed in R.A. No. 04- 2005 arising out of C.C.P.A. no. 190 of 2003 is without jurisdiction. The issue is no longer res integra in view of judgement of this Court in the case of Sri Bhagirath Prasad Vs. Hari Narayan Paswan 2005 (4) PLJR 53. The learned counsel for the respondents does not dispute the legal position but he prays that admittedly the 2 required notification has been issued subsequently in 2008 and hence, it may be observed that if the respondents have any subsisting cause of action they may approach the Central Administrative Tribunal. In view of the above, the writ petition is allowed. The impugned order of the Central Administrative Tribunal Patna Bench, Patna, noticed above is quashed. However, the respondents shall have the liberty as indicated above. Mkc/ (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Shivaji Pandey, J.)
