AI extract
What is this about?
The writ petition challenged the age-eligibility date and shortlisting criteria for recruitment to the post of Assistant Public Prosecutor. The Delhi High Court held that the recruitment dispute fell within the Central Administrative Tribunal’s jurisdiction under Section 14 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. Because the petitioner had an alternate efficacious remedy before the Tribunal, the petition was dismissed without deciding the merits, with liberty to pursue appropriate relief before the Tribunal.
What did the court decide?
The petition was dismissed with liberty to approach the Central Administrative Tribunal and pursue appropriate remedies in accordance with law.
