CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL PATNA Order Sheet Item no.: 51 M.A./590/2026 (PATNA) [ DIRECTION ] In O.A./481/2026 DISMISSAL Court No.: 1 No of Adjournment: 1 Order Dated: 11/11/2026 BSNL Vs KANCHAN SINHA

For Applicant(s) Advocate : Mrs. Sarita Bajaj For Respondent(s) Advocate : Mr. M.P. Dixit Order of The Tribunal Heard learned counsel for both parties. MA No. 590 of 2026 has been filed by the counsel for applicants in MA (counsel for respondents in OA No. 481 of 2026) for transfer of this case file to Circuit Bench Ranchi of the same Tribunal with the same composition. Learned counsel for the respondent (counsel for applicant in the OA) has opposed this prayer by stating that the applicant is a widow who was terminated wrongly on a very petty charge of her implication and conviction in cheque bouncing case and she is residing at Patna city within the jurisdiction of the Principal Seat of this Bench at Patna. She will have difficulty in pursuing this case at Ranchi because the applicant of the OA will not be readily available for consultation in case the need so arises as it is in this particular matter.

Written statement has already been filed in the OA. Learned counsel for respondent (counsel for applicant in the OA) has pleaded that he may be given an opportunity to file rejoinder. On this ground as well as now the next course of action so far is the respondents are concerned is the final hearing as of now. In view of the above factual matrix, this Tribunal finds that there is no reason for this OA to be transferred to Circuit Bench at Ranchi. Hence, the MA No. 590 of 2026 is dismissed. List the OA on 06.01.2027. KUMAR RAJESH CHANDRA Member (A) Justice Narendra Kumar Johari Member (J) Pooja Kumari ( court master )
