Union of India and Ors. v. Kakaraparty Satyanarayana Murty and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Delhi High Court (Navin Chawla & Madhu Jain, JJ.), 12.11.2025: dismisses fourteen writ petitions by Union of India and others challenging CAT Principal Bench orders that disposed of the respondents' Original Applications in reliance on CAT Chandigarh Bench O.A. No. 1067/2017 (Tarsem Nath Kaushal & Ors. v. Union of India & Ors.); released retiral dues left subject to adjudication by the Punjab & Haryana High Court, whose judgment in The Director General, All India Radio & Ors. v. Tarsem Nath Kaushal & Ors., 2025:PHHC:060491-DB dismissing the challenge to the Chandigarh order was relied upon; petitions and pending applications dismissed; no costs.
What did the court decide?
Though the learned counsel for the petitioners sought to distinguish the Judgment of the High Court of Punjab and Haryana (The Director General, All India Radio & Ors. v. Tarsem Nath Kaushal & Ors., 2025:PHHC:060491-DB) and re-argue the matter, this Court found no reason to differ with the findings of the High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissing the challenge to the CAT Chandigarh Bench order in O.A. No. 1067/2017, on which the Tribunal had relied.
