ORDER (ORAL)

Hon’ble Mr. R.N. Singh, Member (J)

1. Learned counsels for the parties, at the outset, submit that the issue involved in both the O.As. bearing Nos. 2998/2025 and 3000/2025 are identical and therefore, the same can be heard together and disposed of by way of a common order.

2. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the issue involved in the present O.A. is squarely covered by an order/judgment of the Tribunal dated 30.05.2025 passed in O.A. No. 1214/2025 (Annexure A7) titled Rajiv Sinha Versus Prasar Bharti and Others.

3. Despite several opportunities accorded to the respondents, no counter reply has been filed.

4. Ms. Vertika Sharma, learned counsel for the respondents has fairly submitted that the issue involved in the present case is squarely covered by the order/judgment dated 30.05.2025 in Rajiv Sinha (Supra). She submits that the present O.A. may also be disposed of in the same light as in the case of Rajiv Sinha (Supra).

5. For the convenience of writing the order, O.A. No. 2998/2025 is taken as lead case and the facts are being taken from the same.
