ANUPAM KUMAR vs CONTROLLER GENERAL OF DEFENCE ACCOUNTS (CGDA)) on 10 November 2026

CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL PATNA Order Sheet Item no.: 36 C.P./77/2026 (PATNA) [ CONTEMPT ] In O.A./380/2026 TRANSFER Court No.: 1 No of Adjournment: 1 Order Dated: 10/11/2026 ANUPAM KUMAR Vs CONTROLLER GENERAL OF DEFENCE ACCOUNTS (CGDA))

For Applicant(s) Advocate : Mr. M.P. Dixit For Respondent(s) Advocate : Mr. T.N. Thakur, ld. Sr. CGSC Order of The Tribunal Heard learned counsel for both parties. Learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that the previous relieving order dated 04.05.2026 has not been revised though there was a clear order of the Tribunal that "it is directed that, till the disposal of the representation dated 20.02.2026, the applicant shall not be compelled to join at the transferred place of posting at Pune." The speaking order that has been passed and kept as annexures with the show-cause reply simply says that the representation has been decided by a reasoned and speaking order rejecting the case of the petitioner. So far as the narrow conspectus of consideration of scope of this Contempt Petition is concerned, this Tribunal does not find it appropriate to go into the merits of the reasoned order but the fact remains that the period from 04.05.2026 to 03.08.2026 when the representation was ultimately decided, the petitioner could legitimately claim to wait at his present place of posting. Learned counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that he has preferred another OA i.e., OA No. 457 of 2026 which has assailed this speaking order, that is a separate issue that will be decided in that particular OA. What we find in the contention of the counsel for petitioner is that a part compliance is going to harm petitioner's interest in this new OA. Learned counsel for the respondents assisted by Mr. Sushant Singh, official of CDA, Patna office has undertaken to file a showcause delineating the compliance of the order of the Tribunal both in letter and in spirit. Accordingly, list this case on 21.12.2026 for further consideration. KUMAR RAJESH CHANDRA Member (A) Justice Narendra Kumar Johari Member (J) Pooja Kumari ( court master )
