Rajiv Shakdher, J. (Oral)--This writ petition is directed against the order dated 10.10.2018, passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal [in short "the Tribunal"] in T.A./100/32/2013.

"6. We, therefore, dispose of this OA leaving it open to the applicant to make a representation mentioning the consequential benefits, which he was entitled to in terms of the directions in OA 1950/2007 (supra) within a period of four weeks from today. On receipt of such representation, the respondents shall pass appropriate orders within three months thereafter. There shall be no order as to costs."

The court emphasized the importance of a discussion on merits in the adjudication of the matter and the need for both sides to have the opportunity to present their respective stands before the Tribu....
A tribunal's decision must be made by the same bench that heard the case to ensure procedural fairness and adherence to natural justice.
The court emphasized that dismissing a case without merit-based reasoning is improper, necessitating remand for a fresh adjudication.
Procedural irregularities in an adjudicatory process cannot be sustained, and the person(s) who hear an aggrieved party must decide and render reasons.
A decision must be rendered by the same individuals who heard a case to ensure procedural fairness and consistency in adjudication.
A party cannot claim ignorance of judicial decisions when there is sufficient public notice of court proceedings, especially when they are familiar with judicial processes.
The court cannot interfere with pending tribunal matters and emphasizes timely adjudication by the administrative tribunal.
Administrative transfers cannot occur while an inquiry is pending, ensuring due process within administrative proceedings.
The responsibility to hold a Review DPC lies with the respondents after ACR upgrades, and failure to do so constitutes an error, justifying judicial correction.
Court mandates compliance with Supreme Court rulings on affirmative action for Scheduled Castes, emphasizing the need for quantifiable data on backwardness.
