WP(C) 4860/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B K SHARMA By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for a directio n to the respondents to appoint him against regular post of GDSDA/MC in the Post al Department. I have heard Mr. T C Chutia, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. R Barua, learned CGSC. Mr. Barua, learned CGSC submits that in view of the provisions of the Administra tive Tribunal Act, 1985 and the law laid down by the Apex Court in L Chandra Kum ar Vs. Union of India reported in 1997 (1) GLT (SC) 1 the writ petition is not m aintainable and the jurisdiction in such matters lies with the Central Administr ative Tribunal. As it was laid down in L. Chandra Kumar (Supra) the Central Administrative Tribu nal will be the Court of first instance in respect of service matters pertaining to Central Government Employees. The parties aggrieved by any order passed by t he Tribunal will be entitled to invoke the writ jurisdiction of this Court and t he writ petition will have to be tried by a Division Bench. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the p etitioner to agitate before the Central Administrative Tribunal, Guwahati Bench, if so advised.
