Outcome

¶24

Issue for consideration

Whether the petitioners should be granted interim relief by this Court against the promotions to the post of Superintendent in Central GST, in view of the pendency of their O.A.s before the Tribunal and its listing of the interim relief prayer for 28.11.2025.

¶22

Court's answer

Since the learned Tribunal has listed the O.A.s for consideration of interim relief on 28.11.2025, the Court requested the learned Tribunal to consider the petitioners' prayer for interim relief on that date.

¶22

Ratio / Principle

If the parties are aggrieved by any order passed by the learned Tribunal, they remain free to avail their remedies in accordance with law, and the present order shall have no effect on such remedies.

These petitions have been filed complaining that the learned Tribunal has not granted the interim relief against the promotions being made to the post of Superintendent in Central GST. We are of the opinion that, as the learned Tribunal has listed the O.A.s for consideration of the interim relief on 28.11.2025, it would be in the fitness of things to request the learned Tribunal to consider the said prayer for interim relief sought by the petitioners on the said date.

In case the parties are aggrieved of any Order passed by the learned Tribunal, it shall be open for the parties to avail of their remedies in accordance with law. The Order passed today shall have no effect on the same.
