CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL PATNA Order Sheet Item no.: 27 C.P./2/2025 (PATNA) [ CONTEMPT ] In O.A./217/2017 MACP Court No.: 1 No of Adjournment: 12 Order Dated: 11/11/2026 DEVENDRA PD Vs LABOUR

For Applicant(s) Advocate : Mr. M.P. Dixit For Respondent(s) Advocate : Mr. T.N. Thakur, Sr. CGSC, Mr. Deepak Kr., ASC through VC mode Order of The Tribunal Heard counsel for the petitioner as well as counsel for the respondents. The order passed by this Tribunal was assailed before the superior judicial forum, and the matter ultimately travelled up to the Hon’ble Apex Court, where SLP (C) No. 17437 of 2026 was decided against the respondents. This fact has already been recorded in the order-sheet dated 24.07.2026. However, compliance with the order has still not been made. Counsel for the respondents has today produced a letter dated 10.11.2026, issued by the respondent, Shri Sachin Kumar, Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner, seeking three months' time from this Tribunal to file a reply in the matter. As already recorded above, the order of the Hon’ble Apex Court was passed about six months ago. The letter produced today seeks a further period of three months for filing a reply, rather than categorically stating that such time is being sought for ensuring compliance with the order of this Tribunal. In these circumstances, this Tribunal is constrained to believe that the respondent officials are not inclined to comply with the order passed by this Tribunal. Accordingly, the signatory of the aforesaid letter, namely, Shri Sachin Kumar, Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner, the present incumbent respondent no. 2 of this C.P. is directed to remain physically present before this Tribunal on the next date of listing. List the case on 23.12.2026 for further consideration. KUMAR RAJESH CHANDRA Member (A) Justice Narendra Kumar Johari Member (J) Durgesh Uttam ( court master )
