Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.
2.
A challenge raised in this petition is to the order passed by the Tribunal which has uphold the order passed by the concerned authority terminating the services of the petitioner on the ground that within time prescribed, the caste certificate was not submitted.
3.
With the able assistance of the learned counsel for the parties, we have gone through the case record.
4.
On perusal of the judgment impugned, it would be crystal clear that except producing relevant portion of the Government Resolution, the Tribunal has not given specific finding regarding applicability of the said Government Resolution to the facts involved in the case. At this stage, what is observed by the Tribunal in the impugned order in paragraph 4, is as under:
“A conjoint consideration of aforesaid undisputed facts and provisions of the Act as discussed in G.R. dated 18.5.2013 show that the O.A. is devoid of merits.”
The aforesaid observations/findings would not be enough to test the decision making process advanced by the Tribunal.
