6. The qualifying service of the applicant seeking appointment to his son under the aforementioned scheme has not been decided by the Tribunal basing on the record on the ground that the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the South Central Railways expressed her inability to produce records in compliance of the directions of the Tribunal stating that the authorities were not cooperating for compliance of the order. Unless the concerned original records relating to applicant are produced before the Tribunal, the requisite qualifying service of twenty years to claim the benefits by the applicant cannot be decided. The issue with regard to declaring 9 years 5 months 25 days of service of the applicant as non-qualifying service on the ground of unauthorized absence can be resolved by perusing the service book of the applicant. Unless the original records are seen, that issue cannot be decided. Now, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the petitioners contended that the original records are available with the authorities and they will produce the same before the Tribunal so as to decide that issue. Therefore, the impugned order is liable to be set aside and is accordingly, set aside and the petitioners are directed to produce the original records before the Tribunal.
