Union of India and others .. Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present: Mr. VS Rana, Advocate for the petitioner 1. To be referred to the Reporter or not ? 2. Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? M.M.KUMAR, J. 1. The instant petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution is directed against order dated 15.4.2011 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench, Chandigarh (for brevity 'the Tribunal'). It has been held that the matter concerning shifting of the date of increment from 1.1.2005 to 1.4.2005 is pending consideration of the anomaly committee and therefore the relief has been declined on the ground that the matter is sub judice. The Tribunal has further held that as and when the matter is decided by the anomaly committee then the decision would be applicable to the case of the petitioner and if any amount becomes payable to him then the same has to be paid to him. Otherwise, a fresh cause of action may come into force and the petitioner may have to re-agitate the matter, if so advised. The balance payment of 60 percent of arrears of 2nd instalment having been paid belatedly on 18.2.2010, the Tribunal has held that the petitioner would be entitled to payment of interest on the delayed CWP No. 12541 CAT of 2011 2 payment @ 6 percent. 2. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, we are of the considered view that no exception is provided to interfere in the directions issued by the Tribunal. If the anomaly committee decides against the rights of the petitioner then it would provide him fresh cause of action and he could re-agitate the matter. If the anomaly committee decides in his favour then he may accept the recommendations, if so advised. The Tribunal has already awarded interest on the delayed payment @ 6 percent. Accordingly, the writ petition does not merit admission and the same is dismissed. (M.M.Kumar) Judge (Gurdev Singh) 19.7.2011 Judge okg
