PATEL, J ) Rule. Mr. S.N.Shelat, learned Addl.Advocate General appears and waives service of Rule for respondent nos. 1 & 2 and learned Addl.Standing Counsel Mr. Anant.S.Dave for respondent no.3. With the consent of the learned advocates, matter is taken up for hearing today. We have heard learned Addl. Advocate General Mr. S.N.Shelat in the matter. The petitioner has challenged the order made by the Central Administrative Tribunal on 25.1.2000, copy of which is placed on record at Annex.V, in C.P.No.86/99 in O.A.No. 765/98. It seems that the grievance of the petitioner is that the Tribunal, while rejecting the application, has imposed costs of Rs.1000/ (Rs. One thousand only ) to the original respondents. Thus, the petitioner was directed to pay costs as the petitioner before the Tribunal. State is not kin to recover the amount of costs. In this view of these facts, we quash and set aside the impugned order dated 25.1.2000 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal in C.P.No.86/99 in O.A. No. 765/98. Petition stands allowed accordingly. Rule is made absolute. No costs. We hope that there will be no further litigation by either side. 16.8.2000 [ B.C. PATEL, J ] [ C.K. BUCH, J ] *rawal
