CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL PATNA Order Sheet Item no.: 40 M.A./648/2026 (PATNA) [ RESTORATION ] In M.A./149/2026 STAY Court No.: 1 No of Adjournment: Order Dated: 09/11/2026 DILIP KUMAR Vs ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA

For Applicant(s) Advocate : Shri Umesh Kumar Verma For Respondent(s) Advocate : Shri G.K. Agarwal, ASC Order of The Tribunal Heard the learned counsels for the applicant as well as the respondents. Today the matter is fixed for consideration of MA No. 648/2026 that has been filed for restoration of MA No. 149/2026 with MA 649/2026 for condonation of delay of 29 days so far as MA No. 648/2026 is concerned. Looking at the record, we find that MA No. 149/2026 which was filed by the learned counsel for the applicant for staying the operation of the impugned order was dismissed for non prosecution.

Learned counsel for the applicant has averred that he is not going to press MA No. 648/2026 and MA No. 649/2026 for consideration of restoration of MA 149/2026 that pertains to stay. Instead, he is prepared to argue the case finally. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that he is prepared to argue the case finally and therefore he has averred that consideration of MA No. 648/2026 and MA No. 649/2026 for restoration of MA No. 149/2026 is nothing but complete wastage of Tribunal's time. In view of submission of learned counsel for the applicant, both the MAs, i.e. MA No. 648/2026 and MA No. 649/2026 are disposed of as having been withdrawn. Since written statement and rejoinder have already been filed and the OA has already been admitted, list this case for final hearing on the fixed date, i.e. 08.01.2027.
