ORDER
Per: Ms. Ranjana Shahi, Member (J)
The present Original Application has been filed by the applicants, 14 in number, under Section 19 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, seeking the following reliefs : “8(i). That the entire record pertaining to this case may kindly be called for and examined.
8(ii). By an appropriate order and direction the impugned action of the Respondents of not considering the representations for fixing of seniority in light of the instructions issued by the DOPT may be declared as void, illegal and discriminatory.
8(iii). By an appropriate order or direction the Respondents may be directed to confer seniority upon the Applicants by counting their length of service for promotion in terms of Office Memorandum issued by the Respondent Department since the Applicants are holding (On the date of Absorption) the same or equivalent grade on regular basis in their old charge and in terms of the instructions of department of personnel and training (DoPT) such regular service in the grade shall also be taken into account in fixing their seniority.
8(iv). Cost of the entire litigation be awarded to the applicant's favour.
8(v). By an appropriate order or direction any other appropriate relief to which the applicant is found entitled to may also kindly be granted in his favour.”
2. There are 14 applicants in the present Original Application, and they have annexed the representations individually filed by them. In the present OA, the first relief sought by them is directions to the respondents to consider their respective representations for fixation of their seniority in the light of the instructions issued by the DoPT.
3. Learned counsel for the applicants has also placed before us the judgment of the Hon’ble Apex Court in Civil Appeal No.3792/2019, arising out of SLP(C) No.31728/2018, in the matter of
KHUSHBOO MITTAL GUPTA
4 OA No.173/2017
Pratibha Rani and Others Vs. Union of India and others, decided on 10.04.2019, which pertains to the issue of whether, in the case of inter-regional compassionate transfer, the service rendered at the previous place of posting is liable to be counted at the new place of posting for the purpose of eligibility for consideration for promotions.
4. Upon perusing and examining the case in hand, we consider it appropriate to refrain from commenting upon the facts of the applicants’ case and the applicability of the aforesaid judgment of the Hon’ble Apex Court, as any such observations may have a bearing on the mind of the Competent Authority while considering their representations. The applicants have sought relief in the present OA in the light of the DoPT instructions / OMs regarding fixation of seniority of non-gazetted staffs in cases of inter-charge transfer.
5. Accordingly, we direct the respondents to consider the representations (Annexure A-1) in the light of the contentions and grounds raised therein and pass a detailed, reasoned and speaking order within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
6. The present Original Application stands disposed of with no order as to costs.
7. Pending MAs, if any, stand closed.
