Delhi,Jan 12
The Delhi High Court has directed the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) to expeditiously decide the plea filed by Sameer Wankhede, an Indian Revenue Service officer, related to service and disciplinary matters. The court issued the direction while disposing of a petition seeking early adjudication of the case.
The High Court observed that prolonged pendency of the matter could have a bearing on the petitioner’s service career and therefore stressed the need for a timely decision. It asked the CAT to consider the issues raised and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a reasonable timeframe.
Sameer Wankhede had approached the tribunal challenging actions taken against him and seeking relief on service-related grounds. The High Court clarified that it has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case, leaving all issues open for consideration by the CAT.
